Salmon Farming

Salmon farming, as it currently operates in open net cages in the ocean, has been shown to be devastating to the marine environment, particularly wild salmon.

The waste that is produced, the diseases and parasites such as sea lice, escapes of the farmed salmon, and entanglement and drowning of marine mammals are decimating the rich ecosystem of the northern Georgia Strait and Sunshine Coast.
