From a “scientific standpoint”, as Suzuki likes to use loosely, he never mentions what else has changed in our oceans and climate as he speaks to the crowd.  No mention of the warm water blob or southern plankton species (not as nutritious as northern species) off our coast.  No mention of declining productivity elsewhere adjacent to BC. No salmon farms in Southeast Alaska, but the numbers and size of Chinook are declining as well as the fecundity of female Chinook. So, if Suzuki wants to get on his soap box and berate salmon aquaculture here and say that he’s talking from a scientific standpoint then don’t cherry pick because from a scientific standpoint there’s much more going on which is going to impact livelihoods dependant on wild salmon.

I just remembered SS was always writing how we should complain about the FF in Washington, I am sure he is happy now and will not have to write about that anymore.

Reads to me that Atlantic salmon farming is banned. Perhaps they will change over to farming Pacific salmon now and you will still have something to keep you busy Chris :)

Can you see the irony if that happens  8)  and it wouldn't surprise me a bit ... face saving, no job losses, great solution to a politically driven agenda.
