No mention of salmon farming in the US once again. Follow the money that the US foundations pump up here. I don't see any of it going to enhance salmon.
  "   By 2009, Tides was responsible for allocating $75 million per year in donor money, most of which went to fund progressive political causes."

How ironic that the tides foundation is all big tobacco money.

A note, we need salmon to come back to our rivers as more than just humans depend on them to do so. FF fish in a pen do not do this, a fact many miss.

Perhaps your best post Bob, and Happy New Year to you bud!  So refreshing to see First Nation leaders thinking and learning for themselves, rather than being told what is best for them. In the early 90’s I was a minor part of the DFO’s Aboriginal Fishery Strategy team and was fortunate then to meet the FN leaders of today; one of them was included in this film.
This video truly exemplifies the disconnect as to what certain activists say regarding negative FN involvement in BC’s expanding aquaculture industry … and what is actually happening and being discussed by band members in the coastal communities that really need this economic boost.  Good on them, and I expect more coastal bands will be coming on board and not only allowing salmon farms in their traditional territories, but requesting them.

Bang on Chris. The way to get salmon back to rivers, and their necessary carcasses for the ecosystem, is to stop killing them.
Try telling that to commercial fishermen, FN fishers or heaven forbid, sports fishermen

In some ways you are right but you miss one important point David, if it was not for a good number of people in each of the sectors you mentioned and others that truly care and try to do something about it, for the survival of our wild fish we would lose much more due to destruction of habitat and other numerous attacks on our fragile fish stocks, many man made others not so.

Sometimes one wonders if some people, business owners, including government too would like that, as development then could go on unabated, dams on the Fraser River at Moran etc.. We hope the new government now in power in Ottawa, will do more to look after our wild stocks than has been done in the past.

 These people in this video I filmed today really care!!! https://youtu.be/evph8ZEgJxU

Not unlike most of the anti-fish farm rhetoric.

Need the ok from the mothership first before commenting. Ironically, there are lots of similarities between anti-fish farm leadership and the former Federal Conservative Government.
