Conveniently for her there is no other ngo organization that defends wild salmon so she is a shoe in for the job but the only issue she addresses is salmon farms which is a large distraction from so many things that are going on. If she was truly a wild salmon activist, imo, she would be highly suspicious/concerned about other factors but you will not ever hear a pep from her about anything else but salmon farms. On the other hand I believe that if there was such a ngo group that did address all the issues they sure would not have any support for they would be pointing the finger at all the user groups.
??? Are you kidding me? Alex has chosen to focus her efforts on salmon farms because that is what has personally effected her in her home in the Broughton's when she moved there. Just because she focuses primarly on learning/researching/reporting on viruses and diseases tied to fish farms doesn't mean that she isn't aware of the many other serious issues facing wild salmon on our coast (global warming, overfishing, habitat degradation, etc).
No other NGO organizations that defend wild salmon? I pulled this from psf.ca. took me 10 seconds to search
The Pacific Salmon Foundation was established in 1987 as an independent, non-governmental, charitable organization to protect, conserve and rebuild wild Pacific salmon populations in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
The Foundation:
Raises money and makes grants to volunteer organizations that work on behalf of salmon across the province – $9 million invested in volunteer-driven salmon projects that have engaged more than 35,000 volunteers.
Manages multi-million dollar initiatives in the Skeena and Fraser River watersheds in partnership with industry, provincial and federal governments and other foundations.
Advances scientific and evidence-based solutions to challenges facing wild Pacific salmon.
Serves as a voice for conservation and restoration of wild Pacific salmon and the ecosystems that depend on them.
It would be refreshing if before you post something you actually took a few seconds to think about it really ask yourself if you are seriously convinced in what you are about to post. I'm sure you are bright enough to do a quick internet search to find out that much of what you post is pure rhetoric. That said, now that I've been around this form long enough I've come to learn that you are not interested in actually getting anything resolved but just here to stir the pot. It would be a much more fruitful debate if you just stayed out of it IMO. I'm all for differences of opinion as long as people are willing to back up their claims... that just isn't your style apparently.
