The controversial plan to create the world's first octopus farm in the Canary Islands has sunk.
Nueva Pescanova withdraws from the concession presented in 2021, which had sparked protests from animal rights activists and complaints from scientists: “They are extremely intelligent animals”
End to the controversial project to establish the world's first octopus farm in the Port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Nueva Pescanova informed the Port Authority last week of its request to withdraw from the procedure for granting a concession - an official permit issued by the government to use a public good exclusively, with a time limit and payment of a fee - for the installation of a "Marine Cultivation Farm" in the Canary port.
