Atlantic Salmon, once considered the premier fish of North america, have been vertually wiped out from U.S. waters and are experiencing a similar fait in Canada. Now the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service is making plans to take charge with the goal to see Atlantic Salmon once again rain supreme. From negotiations with Greenland and the removal of dams, they are pulling out all the stops, and this includes blocking genetically engineered Atlantic Salmon designed for the aquaculture industry from being grown in U.S. teritorial waters.
