SB 6086: Nonnative finfish release

Protecting the state's marine waters from the release of nonnative finfish from marine finfish aquaculture sites.

Summary

  • Prohibits the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) from issuing or renewing any leases, or otherwise authorizing the use of state-owned aquatic lands for the purpose of Atlantic salmon aquaculture.
  • Prohibits the Department of Ecology (Ecology), under its water pollution control authority, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) from authorizing or permitting any activities related to Atlantic salmon aquaculture after the expiration date of existing lands leases.
  • Directs the Ecology, DNR, and DFW to update existing guidance and resources on planning for and permitting commercial marine net pen aquaculture.
  • Requires any marine finfish aquaculture facility permitted by the WDFW to be inspected by a marine engineering firm periodically.
  • Specifies that separation from employment that results from the lease and permitting prohibitions is a qualifying event for the purpose of dislocated worker eligibility.
