The opinion piece by Fletcher is just that - an opinion. His articles seldom quote any peer reviewed, scientific research, but rather just other non-fact based opinion pieces and news references. His article above has little to do with reality, but a lot to do with his fact-less, personal opinion. Of course he is entitled to his opinion, but his article is pretty lame rationale for "The reality of the Salmon Farm attention in BC" which in reality is just your personal opinion.
There is more and more concern among the public, local, provincial and state govt's, in addition to growing body of scientific research (many of which have been posted on this forum that fish farm supporters have been unwilling/unable to dispute) about the negative impacts of net pen fish farms. This is more like "The reality of the Salmon Farm attention in BC".
