Salmon activist Alexandra Morton has just released her telling book Not On My Watch, chronicling, and challenging — with resonant detail — salmon farming on the Pacific coast.
Comparing salmon farms to feedlots, she argues how the acceleration and mere continuation of fish farming on the Pacific coast will lead to species extinction. Disease among local salmon populations is rife, yet governing bodies are only now starting to come to terms with the impacts of fostering development with foreign investors.
As increasing devastation continues to signal alarms, big changes may finally be coming for open-net fish farms in our coastal waters.
With this in mind, we want to ask:
Do you think fish farms should be banned on the Pacific coast?
