Share

A letter to the Victoria Times-Colonist:

I am most disappointed in your coverage of the “Salmon Migration” rally held in Victoria on Saturday afternoon, so disappointed in fact, I am seriously considering canceling my subscription to your paper. The protection of salmon from everything that endangers their survival is of paramount importance, not only for coastal British Columbians but for humanity as a whole.

Wild salmon advocates call for the resignation of CEO of Cermaq

Wild salmon advocates on the historic Get Out Migration called for the resignation
of Geir Isaksen – CEO of Norwegian Government-owned Cermaq, the world’s second
largest salmon farming corporation – at the company’s headquarters in Campbell
River, over his failure to protect BC’s wild salmon from the ecological impacts of
his company’s farms. Salmon conservation groups have been pushing for the clearing

sockeye and other wild salmon. Isaksen recently rejected calls to close just two
Cermaq-owned farms despite having called for such precautionary measures himself in
his 2009 report to shareholders.
