I agree, we need to ramp up our hatchery programs - but current DFO management doesn't like hatcheries as they have sided with ENGO's in thinking that they are bad for wild fish (not to mention they cost $ to run). All would agree going with only wild fish is the better way to go, but this alone will not work anymore - too much population and industrial growth has changed the environment and the Wild Fish Policy over the last 20 years has failed. We need to supplement wild salmon with hatcheries using new improved techniques and designs that reduce some of the issues with hatchery fish to maintain struggling runs, feed orcas, sustain local communities. This will only happen if the public demands it from politicians to make it a priority for DFO to implement and maintain.
