B.C. First Nation, aquaculture companies challenge Discovery Island fish farm closures in court
Vancouver Island’s We Wai Kai First Nation and seafood giants Cermaq, Grieg Seafood and MOWI Canada West have filed an application for a judicial review to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans decision to close 15 fish farms in the Discovery Islands in February.
In a statement to the Mirror, Grieg Seafood says the decision to file the motion comes with a feeling of disappointment regarding the decision.“Grieg Seafood is disappointed in the decision and the implication it could have on both B.C. and Canada,” the statement reads. “The filing will allow Grieg access to DFO documents which will provide insight into the decision-making process of the minister, which is important to understand for future planning and development.
Anti-fish farm activist Alexandra Morton said while the We Wai Kai Nation’s participation in the motion was a shock to the community, the filing among the seafood giants shouldn’t come as a surprise.
