Perhaps you can answer Bob's question?
From FB that Dave refuses to read so i have to post things for him.
"Walk the beaches of Quadra Island or kayak along the shore of the Discovery Islands or the Johnstone straight and it is disgusting the garbage that litters the shoreline.....when on my old charter boat I would scoop and haul where ever we went....The Quadra Island Earth Day Beach Clean-up organized by the Q I Chapter of the Sierra Club hauled dump truck loads full ..... check out the garbage from the aquaculture industry ... the piss pharms , and oyster farms who are without a doubt , are the main polluters, AND who cleaned it up .... the environmentally aware.... This industry has got to go !

The Wild Salmon Protection Act to be introduced this year.
The Wild Salmon Protection Act (Bill C-225, formerly C-518) would require fish farms operating on BC's coast to transition from harmful open-net fish farms to safe closed containment systems.
BC's wild salmon stocks are in a vulnerable state. By moving fish farms to closed containment, we protect our wild stocks from sea lice, pollutants and other harmful substances that inevitably disseminate from open-net fish farms.
The future of BC aquaculture is closed containment. The technology exists, it is economically feasible, and the prospective jobs and economic opportunities for British Columbians are immense.
