[BCFSN] West Coast Environmental Law letter to government re unlawful firing of ALC chair Richard Bullock

[Jim Wright]

See important message to Christy Clark regarding wild salmon and saving
them from any further harm from the open net cage fish farms. I ask that
you all lend your voice to push Christy Clark and the government agencies
and corporations to do the right thing and get the fish farms out of our
ocean. While I agree, closed cage fish farms inland may be a viable
opportunity in the short term, I feel we need to spend our energy saving
wild salmon and nurturing our relationship to them for longer term
sustainability. If done properly, they would provide all the needs for food
and no fish farms of any kind would be needed.

Hi All,

You will find a letter Premier Christy Clark with the logos of 10
Indigenous governments along the Fraser and Thompson rivers informing her
the Province of BC must not expand existing fish farms, offer new leases of
occupation or renew fish farm leases without our collective consent.
Aggressive expansion of fish farms on migration routes must be halted as an
immediate step to prevent a serious demise of our endangered wild salmon.
The Norwegian ocean fish farms decimated their wild salmon stocks in their
country and their aquaculture industry is currently facing very serious out
of control  sea lice problems.  We must prevent this from happening in
Canada.

We invite you to add your strength to this effort to rid fish farms from
migration routes of wild salmon.  There are alternatives that we can
support, such as sustainable land-based aquaculture.  Dr. Alexandra Morton,
a marine biologist living on Vancouver Island, is willing to be the
secretary to add the logo to this letter, along with your respective chiefs
names at the bottom.

Should you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to
contact either myself or Alexandra Morton.

Yours in solidarity,


Eddie Gardner
