I read this today.
Here is an astounding statistic: Of the roughly 196,000 tonnes of wild seafood harvested by B.C. fishers in 2018, worth about $476 million, around 85 per cent is exported, Marc Fawcett-Atkinson reported in an article in The National Observer in September.
Meanwhile, “like most of Canada, [B.C.] imports between 70 and 90 per cent of the seafood British Columbians eat, according to federal data.”

Very disturbing, in todays world our food security and wellbeing of our fishing economy needs to be looked after better. the Fisheries for Communities network could use our support. I sent there email to Govt. and signed up to support them.
