Politely asking our government to put an end to this destructive practice has gotten us nothing but broken promises. Let's try telling them to shut down open-net pen salmon farms in the most un-Canadian way possible - Pacific Wild
Canada’s government just gave the companies that operate open-net pens in British Columbia a 5 year extensions on their licenses! They don’t have to be out until June 30, 2029. Wild salmon can't wait another five years. Here are some other facts:
In 2019 Prime Minister Trudeau promised Canada would transition away from open-net salmon farms by 2025
B.C. is the last place left on the Pacific coast of North America where open-net pen salmon farms rear atlantic salmon
More than 120 First Nations support the removal of open-net pen salmon farms
At least 70% of Canadians support a transition away from any marine salmon aquaculture to a sustainable land-based sector
Visit the Pacific Wild FOFF website here if you're ready to send a not so polite letter telling the government you want fish farms out of B.C. waters once and for all.
