“Last week, the Minister of Fisheries, Joyce Murray, went on the road and she traveled the length of Vancouver Island talking to people, First Nations environmental organizations, scientists, about the transition of salmon farms in British Columbia. This is incredible. I’ve never seen a minister go on the road before, and I have so much respect for her for doing this,” said independent biologist Alexandra Morton.
A BC Salmon Farmers Association spokesperson emailed a list of facilities Murray visited:
- Cermaq Canada’s Millar Channel farm and semi-closed containment site in Clayoquot Sound.
- One of Creative Salmon’s Chinook farms and their processing plant in Tofino.
- MOWI’s Shelter Pass farm in Port Hardy and their Big Tree Creek Hatchery in Sayward.
