First Nations fighting to get salmon farms out of the ocean are dismayed in the wake of federal Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray's recent engagement tour on a plan to transition open-net pen operations in B.C.
Murray spent much of last week visiting Vancouver Island aquaculture operations and meeting with First Nations, industry operators, wild salmon conservation groups and coastal community leaders in Campbell River and Port Hardy.
The BC Salmon Farmers Association said the aquaculture sector is “heartened” after its round of meetings with Murray. “It's simply a 'go with the status quo.' They're just putting new laces on those old shoes,” said Chamberlin, who met with Murray along with chiefs from the K'omoks and Homalco First Nations, both opposed to open-net fish farms.
“So they can actually accomplish the goal of progressively minimizing or eliminating interaction between farmed salmon and the wild salmon.” Large-scale aquaculture operators in B.C. have dismissed closed containment technology, arguing it isn't advanced enough, requires a bigger energy footprint and is less profitable.
