Good for Sooke for taking leadership in protecting wild salmon stocks!
Let's hope (and work towards) this type of leadership moves on to other communities on the coast. Another nail in the coffin for net pen salmon farms!
The move to get these feedlots out of our waters and on to the land where their negative environmental impacts can be better managed is growing and spreading - just a matter of time!
I wonder if profisher or rockfish have been attending the council meetings?...

Don't know, but Chris Bos, SVIAC President was at the Sooke Council meeting in support of the motion., He spoke in support of it last week on CFAX radio.

Subject: FN1026-Reporting Atlantic Salmon Sightings in British Columbia Waters
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is seeking assistance in identifying and
reporting Atlantic salmon in British Columbia (BC) waters, following the escape
of Atlantic salmon from an aquaculture facility in Washington State.
DFO’s Atlantic Salmon Watch Program has received over 55 reports of Atlantic
salmon caught in BC waters since this event. These reports are from locations
as far apart as the Campbell River and Tofino on Vancouver Island, as well as
in the lower Fraser River.
DFO requests all First Nations, fishers or those conducting stock assessment
activities, to report sightings to the Atlantic Salmon Watch Program. For
captured fish, please retain the head and stomach of any suspected Atlantic
salmon and send the photo of the fish by email. Samples of full fish would
also be appreciated. DFO will arrange for the transportation of any samples,
which will then be tested to confirm their species and origin, and to determine
if they have been feeding.
Tips for identifying Atlantic salmon available are on our website. The key
distinguishing feature of Atlantic salmon is black spots on the gill cover.
The escaped Atlantic salmon weigh about 4.5kg (10lbs) each and the Department
has been assured the salmon were free of therapeutants at the time of the
escape. Encounters with Atlantic salmon at any lifestage should be reported.
There is a very low likelihood of Atlantic salmon establishing in Pacific
waters based on numerous failed attempts to introduce Atlantic salmon to this
coast in the past. Since 1991, the Atlantic Salmon Watch Program has found no
evidence of established Atlantic salmon populations in BC. Nevertheless, it
remains important to be vigilant and ensure establishment does not occur. Your
reports will help in determining priority rivers for the Atlantic Salmon Watch
swims. DFO shares information about all reported sightings on our website.
Thank you for your help in monitoring BC waters.
