Good news for fans of Mother Nature!

AquaBounty, the world leader in pushing genetically engineered salmon into the marketplace, just announced that it’s shutting down its last production facility.

A growing body of science has shown that GE salmon pose serious environmental and public health risks, including potentially irreversible damage to wild salmon populations that are critical to the livelihoods, cultural heritage, and well-being of Indigenous and fishing communities. But AquaBounty ignored these realities as it pushed to sell these “FrankenFish” to the public.

Campaigns led by Indigenous peoples and environmental groups compelled the largest grocery retailers, food service companies, and major restaurants to commit to not selling genetically engineered salmon.

Without a market, the company is not viable — and it’s ending its fish farming operations for good.
