First Nations using their voice to urge feds to stop fish farm expansion

The Times Colonist article ‘First Nations group urges feds to stop expansion of fish farms‘ discusses the different levels of involvement.

“In 2013, 17,300 tonnes of wild salmon and 81,500 tonnes of farmed salmon were harvested in B.C. Farmed salmon was B.C.’s top seafood commodity, accounting for $475.8 million, almost 59 per cent of total seafood revenues and 95 per cent of salmon revenues, according to the province.”

The article briefly outlines the ongoing issues and relates that with numbers like the ones stated above it is easy to see how the Federal government may not want to see those numbers change.
