Zoning Hearing in Sayward on Tues April 14th
Speakers and Written Submissions Needed
You are receiving this email because you have been involved in our Salmon Aquaculture Campaign in the past, and we urgently need your help again.
Grieg Seafoods has applied for aquaculture zoning for two new fish farms near Yorke Island in Sunderland Channel, just north of Sayward. If these farms are approved, they will be among the biggest farms on the BC coast at 4400MT each. In addition to impacts on pink and chum salmon, recent evidence suggests that Fraser River sockeye may be impacted by sea lice from fish farms in the Discovery Islands area of northern Georgia Strait...adding two new massive fish farms is a step in the wrong direction.
We are hoping you will attend the hearing to voice your concerns. Please RSVP, or email me if you would like more information for your speech. We can also arrange carpooling, if you need a ride.
