Transport Canada is required to ensure that the screening is conducted in relation to the development
proposal: PROPOSED THAT AQUACULTURE SITES FOR THE CULTURE OF ATLANTIC SALMON
NEAR LONG ISLAND IN ST MARY'S BAY,NOVA SCOTIA .
The two proposed sites are located in the eastern shore of the southern end of Long Island. Each
Aquaculture site is approximately 540m by 780M (42.12ha), and will contain a 2 X 6 grid of 60 m.cells
and circular plastic cages. Each site will be used primarily to culture Atlantic salmon, with ten of the

fish to larger cages once they reach an appropriate size.
