The federal government is investing millions in First Nations-led hatcheries to produce more salmon while pursuing a policy that would dismantle another Indigenous-backed form of salmon production on the B.C. coast.

As the first five families prepare to move into Nenagwas, on Vancouver Island, Ottawa’s plan to ban ocean salmon farming in B.C. threatens to stall a homecoming more than five decades in the making.

Canada needs policy decisions that are informed, proportionate and evidence‑based.
Salmon farming contributes to domestic food production, coastal economies and year‑round supply.
It also operates within a regulated framework that should be assessed on facts, not broad claims.
Healthy debate is welcome. Mischaracterization is not a substitute for analysis.

The predicted extinction of pink salmon from #sealice by #activist scientists started the fabricated #lies about #aquaculture in BC. With pinks invading Norway with 1000x the farms seems like apologies are owed. #shameful people.com/new-research-stud…

A routine letter to Ottawa from international salmon-farming groups is being recast as a foreign-influence threat by activists whose fundraising pitch and public support are losing ground.

Global demand for salmon continues to rise.
The U.S. confirms salmon remains a top seafood choice. Europe is looking to grow more of its own fish supply.
As Canada reviews the future of salmon farming in BC, the question isn’t whether demand exists.
It’s whether Canada wants to help meet it.

Fish Farms: First nations throw their support behind BC Coastal Aquaculture against the 2029 salmon net pen ban They say critical sources of employment, Indigenous investment, and locally produced, affordable and sustainable food are in jeopardy. firstnationsforfinfish.ca/

“When Ottawa officials announced the 2029 net pen ban the job losses started in 2024 but the investments froze in 2022,” Robinson said. “Our young people are the workers within this industry and when jobs leave Klemtu, they will leave too.”

BC salmon farmers contribute $1.2 billion in annual economic output, supporting over 4,000 families. However, our sector is at risk due to an ongoing uncertain regulatory environment, halting investments.
With the right framework in place, BC salmon farmers are ready to support Canada’s food system and help build a stronger Canada. 🇨🇦💪

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos message should come straight back to Canada and land on one file Ottawa has fumbled for years: ocean salmon farming in British Columbia.

"A country that can’t feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself." - Prime Minister Carney
BC salmon farmers have been proudly feeding Canadians healthy and affordable salmon for decades, however production has declined over 40% since 2015, driving a surge in salmon imports. With long-term regulatory certainty, Canada has an opportunity to balance it's food system and feed itself.

Fish Farms in BC are an essential industry that provide massive benefit for the province as a whole but specifically coastal communities. However, there is a lot that people don't know about it.
