Main goal
First Water’s goal within Terraforming LIFE is to operate a sustainable, land-based salmon farm with a responsible and environmentally sustainable pathway for managing fish sludge. The aquaculture facility, located in Þorlákshöfn, is being developed in phases and is planned to reach a total production capacity of around 60,000 tons HOG per year.

About
Feeding the world with sustainability as our guiding principle
Through enclosed land-based farming, pristine filtered seawater of the North Atlantic and green geothermal energy we raise the finest Atlantic salmon. Our method imitates the natural and sustainable life cycle of the salmon that has spawned in our pristine freshwater and made the journey to the ocean and back again. This eliminates the need for antibiotics and the result is firm texture and great taste with a minimum environmental impact.
