Please Vote For Our Fish
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:29:03 AM »

Hello

Please take time to vote on this newspaper website.

Unless government sees our numbers they will not work to resolve this issue. I was in Campbell River area yesterday viewing the sea lice infection rates on wild salmon and it is not getting any better. The majority of sockeye, pinks and chums were infected with young lice which means they got infected in the region of the fish farms. Meanwhile Greig Sea Foods has an application to put into two of the biggest fish farms in the coast in the Johnstone Strait area which means all these infected wild salmon will be exposed again on their way to sea.

From what I learned in Norway, it is virtually certain that we will see the Norwegian strain ISA epidemic that is unstoppable in Chile, and Scotland.

Please vote it is a small effort compared to where we are at with this issue

Done. Lopsided results so far 89.35%. Will the government pay any attention ? I doubt it.

But one has to do all they can, if we don't try we will certainly lose this attempt to stop these fish farm that are doing so much damage to our wild stocks.

Thanks to all that have voted so far, I hope more will do in the next few days.

Voted, just wish/hope that something changes.  Unfortunately, it seems that the fish farms have enough money behind them to 'run over' nearly everything.
