*ROAR ! 305,000 escaped exotic Atlantic salmon ….. ….now spreading
pathogens around the Salish Sea.  One more nail in the coffin of wild
salmon and coastal marine ecosystems !*

*STOP killing our coast !* Transition to land just like the 1998 Displaced
Fishers / Wild Salmon Revitalization Initiative partnership with HRDC and
UFAWU providing Skills and Retraining…. and transition to land immediately !

1995 - 1997 : As a former contracted fisheries guardian and contractor we
observed escaped Atlantics in the fishing fleets seine nets, gutted them to
find they were indeed eating our wild species

1993 : Adult Atlantics harassing our Wild Salmon on their reads on
Clayoquot to consume wild Chinook eggs.

1998: Dr Volpe conducts a study on the Englishman River with Wild Pacific
Salmon and Atlantics in a controlled setting to see if hybridization could
happen. He personally told me, " Over the few days we saw some strong
indicators that the breeding stock of both species were definitely
interested in each other. “

1998 to 2005ish : We had a Coho Enumeration contract to introduce a new
methodology for assessing Coho population through fry indices coast wide.
These indices covered the coast from Desolation Sound to the Klemtu area.
We used barrier nets to create a repeatable indices for a three pass
removal to capture what Coho fry were present. In that process I found
Atlantic Fry and smolts.

The Canadian Department of Federal Fisheries is acting in Conflict Of
Interest by promoting and marketing Open Net Salmon Feedlots while killing
wild salmon and marine ecosystem they are mandated to protect !


Canada’s Violations of the Fisheries Act and NAAEC by Allowing British
Columbia Salmon Feedlots to Degrade Wild Salmon Habitat

quote " Despite mounting evidence of harm to British Columbia’s wild salmon
runs and severe threats to wild salmon in Canada and the United States,
Canada has permitted more than 100 commercial salmon feedlots to operate in
the narrow migration routes used by wild salmon of British Columbia and the
United States, including the Fraser River, exposing wild salmon to
amplified levels of parasites such as sea lice, viral and bacterial
diseases, toxic chemicals and concentrated waste. Canada’s apparent
violations of its own Fisheries Act are allowing commercial salmon feedlots
to erode the capacity of the British Columbia ecosystem to support wild
salmon. The potential for British Columbia salmon feedlots to introduce,
amplify and spread pathogens also jeopardizes the health of every other
wild salmon run along the Pacific Coast, as well as the entire West Coast
salmon fishing industry, because these stocks co-mingle.

1. Information, knowledge and perception are king in our info age.
Developing personal strength and balance is important, but having an
overview is now equally important.  The planet is shifting quickly.  It's
vital to have the right energy, but you also have to be in the right place
at the right time with the right overview.  Landwatch prepares you for
action.  Action is power!

2. One question is how do I take a Facebook story and post it to LW.  Some
LW members have 2 LW email accts, one acct which gives all LW posts,
another which is a digest form (one email per week gives only the headings
of stories for the past week. Your digest acct is also the same email
address as your Facebook notifications acct.  When you see a good eco story
on facebook you can cut and paste and forward it to Landwatch at npogroups.org
from your digest/notifications acct.

3. Please do not send large attachments as this adds to the cost of hosting
landwatch.

4. Use Landwatch for conveying information about (BC's) environmental and
land-use issues (e.g. campaign alerts, enviro-news, discussion, etc.).

5. We encourage the forwarding of published news stories to other
listserves, facebook and so on.  If there are personal comments originating
from LandWatch members included in an email then please delete these
statements or get the permission of the LW author(s) before forwarding
their personal commentary with the story.
(Also, it is good net courtesy to scrub all unnecessary email addresses
from the forward.)
