Open net-cage salmon farming is not sustainable. We want to see a farmed salmon industry that:
- Uses technology that eliminates the risks of disease and parasite transfer to wild fish as well as escapes of farmed fish into the wild,
- Guarantees untreated waste is not released into the ocean,
- Labels fish as "farmed" so consumers can make informed choices,
- Develops feed for farmed salmon that does not deplete fish stocks around the world,
- Ensures wildlife is not harmed as a result of salmon farming,
- Prohibits the use of genetically modified fish,
- Eliminates the use of chemicals, antibiotics and pesticides in salmon farming,
- Ensures contaminants in farmed salmon don't exceed levels deemed safe by international standards, and
- Stops locating salmon farms in areas opposed by First Nations or other local communities.
Together, we can transform the salmon farming industry!
