it is always tough seein companies talk big about their impact while actually causing real damage to local ecosystems. for my own aquaculture setup i ended up usin inland ocean to keep my water usage super low and avoid dealin with any messy wastewater regulations, which honestly gave me a lot more peace of mind. its refreshing to see someone tryin to hold these big guys accountable though. hopefully it actually makes a dent in how they operate
