Why Do We Allow the Shellfish Industry to Poison Our Coastal Waters

Bayne Sound without tidal flushing would be a Ministry of Health nightmare. "Why do we allow...?" you say. The game is rigged. Regulators are lobbied. Money talks. Regulators bend to commercial lobbying pressure. They fear for their paychecks. All BC resources (and globally) pursued by commercial interest are prefaced with "the once abundant". When there is so little left to be profitable the fishery collapses... DFO style management.
