The Province's Shellfish Development Initiative of 1998 ... plans to double the amount of Crown land available to shellfish aquaculture within 10 years. The initiative followed studies that showed potential for a tenfold expansion of shellfish farming with about 1,000 additional jobs in BC (Coopers and Lybrand Report, 1997).
