Icy Waters Ltd. is a land based aquaculture facility. We have a gravity fed flow-through design with streams and springs as its source. We utilize drum filters, settling ponds and wetlands to remove particulate matter and effluent before returning the water to the natural wetlands downstream of our facility. On many occasions throughout the year, due to natural erosion, sediment levels entering our farm are higher than the level we are allowed to discharge, and as such we act like a large filter on our water shed system. Due to the actions of our mechanical and biological filters, we are able to effectively and efficiently polish the water prior to discharge.
Waste sludge from our treatment facilities is provided free of charge to terrestrial farmers for use on crops, while leftovers from processing are provided to dog mushers as a high oil food, or delivered to local compost facilities.
In providing nutritious and year-round available food, Icy Waters Ltd. continues to strive to manage our footprint on our shared and valued resources. Considered a “Best” choice by the Monterey Aquarium Seafood Watch Guide for Healthy Oceans, Farmed Arctic Charr is considered to have no serious ecological impacts by many environmental organizations. |
