Yup it is a deal made with the devil in regards to the benefits of net pen salmon farms that will come back to bite us in the butt for those that care about wild salmon populations. If it were land based salmon farms we were talking about I would agree with you more - but NOT net pen farms for all the disease, pollution, pesticides, and incidental in pen bycatch of other fish species (e.g. herring and wild salmon). The are definitely NOT helping increase wild salmon populations - they are another nail in the coffin. Can't get these salmon farms on the land fast enough in my opinion!

Maybe the made a good deal with one of the many bands up and down coast. No amount of salmon farm controversy will stop that.Grieg Seafoods outlines plans to ditch Scottish operation, increase production in Canada

Yup just imagine the increased amount of pollution, disease, pesticides, incidental fish bycatch and damage to the marine environment - yay NOT!Maybe the made a good deal with one of the many bands up and down coast. No amount of salmon farm controversy will stop that.
Just imagine the revenue that could be generated for indigenous people if individual bands up north started utilizing their coastal territories for salmon farming. Staggering considering that currently less than 10% of the BC coast suitable for salmon farming is being used now.
Don't you get bored saying the same thing over and over?? Birdnest is right, this is an incredible opportunity for FN .,.. and you are in denial.
I would need to research it to ensure it was healthy and safe like any food product I consume (just common sense). If there is reliable consensus that it is healthy and safe then yes I would.
Thanks for telling me what I would do, or not do - you have no idea! LOL . What about sticking to what you think and know about and not speaking for others when you have no clue. I do it for you will you do it for me? Seem reasonable?
A few years back when i was just north of victoria at a sushi restaurant it had atlantic as an option from this place. it was marketed as sustainable land based atlantic salmon on the menu.There was an FN on land farm fish farming facility on the north Island that gave up. Was for sale last spring
So I gave a yes no answer - it was a qualified yes. Is there "amable" info available on land based fish farms? - maybe you could provide some for us to review? I have not found any advertised land based farmed fish for sale where I live - if I did I would be interested in checking it out.so give a yes or no answer there is already amable information available to make one. there is also land based fish farm food option available in bc as well. Do you consume any of them?
