Norwegian salmon farms pumping sewage-scale pollution into fjords

A new report finds that Norway's fish farms are discharging nutrient pollution into coastal waters at a scale equivalent to the untreated raw sewage of a country the size of Australia — tens of millions of people's worth of waste, released directly into fjords each year. Norway is the world's largest farmed salmon producer, and the fish feed nutrients are excreted straight into the sea with minimal regulation. The findings come from the Sunstone Institute and represent the most comprehensive accounting of the industry's environmental toll to date.
