Moreover, NAIA President Sheldon George added: "Bradley is joining NAIA at an exciting time for aquaculture in our province.

One of its most recent statements expressed appreciation to the Government of Canada for its proposed establishment of the southern coast National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA) boundary. "It's clear that Ottawa, Parks Canada, and DFO are being lobbied by activists," claimed the Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association.
