Norwegian fish farms pollute fjords with waste likened to ‘raw sewage of millions of people’. Norwegian fish farms are filling fjords and other coastal waters with nutrient pollution equivalent to the raw sewage of tens of millions of people each year, a report has found. Norway's aquaculture released 75 000 tonnes of nitrogen, 13 000 tonnes of phosphorus and 360 000 tonnes of organic carbon in 2025. https://mediafaro.org/article/20260504-norwegian-fish-farms-pollute-fjords-with-waste-likened-to-raw-sewage-of-millions-of-people?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward #Environment #FishFarms #Food #MarineLife #Norway #Pollution
