Fishermen in Ingonish Ferry, N.S., are concerned that a new sewage outfall pipe could harm their business due to the harbour’s poor flushing ability, which may prevent effective dilution of effluent. Victoria County insists the $15-million wastewater system is essential for local development, including condominiums and a hotel. Fishermen argue they were not adequately consulted during the planning process and worry about the impact of warmer treated water on marine life. Despite federal and provincial permits, locals express frustrations over the consultation process and potential ecological risks.
