A First in Canada

The Overwaitea Food Group in BC announced today that they will start selling Closed Pen Coho
in their stores and publicly denounced open net farmed fish. The David Suzuki Foundations
is all in favor of the move by the Overwaitea Food Group.

This sends a strong message to the British Columbia government.
Maybe today's news is the start of the end of open net pen fish farming in BC. I sure hope so.

That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

That is great news Ross, did you see this article? Looks like we might get some action on the fish farming which is destroying our wild fish enviroment. I wonder if our drunken Premier will take his blinders off and see the error of his ways.

I voted for  Gordo in the last election but this time around I will be voting Against Mr. Campbell. Our government needs a wake up call and to stop selling out our natural resources. The work Alexandra Morton is doing is great and I support her %100 . Nice to see the the DOJ taking up the charges against the Norwegian fish farm company. Thanks for the link.
