Our Global Ocean

An international petition against salmon farming has recently been set up. As most readers already know, open-pen salmon farming in British Columbia has been linked to the sharp decline of wild pacific salmon due to the explosion of sealice population and other factors. In addition, farming predatory fish simply is not sustainable due to the amount of food that is being extracted from the ocean to feed farmed fish. Citizens of many countries around the world that have experienced this also voice the same concerns. Perhaps these voiced concerns can be united at last and make a difference.
