Salmon farming companies are seeking approval for massive expansions of open net-cage salmon farms from the BC government. If approved, the expansions will roughly double current licensed production on several farms in critical wild salmon migration routes such as the Broughton Archipelago and the northern Georgia Strait. On a site-by-site basis, some farms could triple, quadruple or increase six-fold their current licensed production levels!
