Remember the name Dick Beamish as he is arguably the most prevalent DFO net-pen aquaculture apologist of the lot. Wonder how much he was paid by the Norwegians?
This from Alex today:
Hello
In early July a very senior and celebrated government scientist, Dick Beamish, was on the stand at the Cohen Inquiry.
What transpired is a travesty, theater of the absurd. See my blog http://alexandramorton.typepad.com/
Second on my blog are photos I took yesterday of lice - infested young herring off the north end of Vancouver Island.
Our fisheries are in big trouble under current management. Please consider attending or sending your own representatives to the aquaculture hearings at the Cohen Inquiry in Vancouver August 22 - September 9. My concern is that the proceedings will be unbelievable unless people hear it for themselves. I do not want to be your only source of information on this. www.cohencommission.ca <http://www.cohencommission.ca>
Thank you all who donated, you are keeping us going for the next couple of months. If you want to help out: Pay Pal via www.salmonaresacred.org <http://www.salmonaresacred.org> or Pacific Coast Wild Salmon Society Box 399 Sointula, BC V0N 3E0 Consider joining our 100,000 voices for wild salmon www.salmonaresacred.org <http://www.salmonaresacred.org/>
If we don't step between government and our fish, our children (and theirs) will lose a major food resource and essential part of the natural world. If a senior DFO scientist can behave like this we should consider ourselves warned. I sincerely hope that the people with resources and interests in wild salmon step up soon and straighten this out.
Ottawa cannot manage our fisheries.
Until then - onward alex
