Fish farms continue to threaten survival of wild salmon in British Columbia
At the beginning of March, the annual wild salmon juvenile out-migration begins. At this moment in Clayoquot Sound, as the young fish head out to sea, they are under threat from a fish farm operated in their waters by the global corporation, Cermaq. There has been a long fight to close down offshore fish farms in BC, and recently there has been some success in closing them down. But the fight is not over, and the continued existence of wild salmon is at stake. We speak with Dan Lewis of Clayoquot Action.
