We did stop there and because of the Fraser River Gravel Stewardship Comittee that I have a small part of no major gravel extractions have taken place the last few years.

Recently some meetings have taken place on this subject which I am sure you are aware in the capacity of your work or at least some others in the department. If you have not I am sure you can find out. :P

I guess Eddie played a major role also in pausing these activities?

What will gathering mussels to test for the presence of PRV around fish farms and elsewhere attempt to prove? PRV has been showed to be ubiquitous in farmed salmon and has been shown to exist in wild salmon and trout in BC waters showing no signs of disease. 2007 is incorrectly quoted in the news article as PRV has been demonstrated to be much longer than that.  Why isn't there any planned PRV testing in Alaskan and Washington State waters during this boondoggle trip?  Still waiting for evidence from Ms Morton that supports her claim that transferred Marine Harvest farmed salmon were in fact diseased.  Again, this is mainly for publicity in order to make it appear like they are mainstream science when in reality it's just for show.

It was so reassuring to see on the global news last night and this morning that the fish farm representative says that less than 1% of the farm fish have viruses that would be of concern to wild salmon. Given the millions 's of fish out there in pens exactly how many tens of thousands of fish does this percentile represent?

Not to mention all the wild salmon that can already carry endemic pathogens. Reassuring that Morton is going to get to the bottom of this by testing mussels.
