Open letter to BC Pacific Salmon Forum; John Fraser, Chair

I provide my feedback to the Pacific Salmon Forum’s (PSF) report as chief of the Kwicksutaineuk/Ah-Kwa-Mish First Nation (KAFN) whose Territories encompass the Broughton Archipelago.

We applaud the diligence of the Forum in assessing the impacts of open net-cage salmon farms and in striving for solid solutions.

The KAFN is encouraged by the many aspects of the report that acknowledge the problems and address the necessity for change.  However, as a Nation experiencing firsthand the environmental and cultural impacts of the farms in the Broughton Archipelago, it is necessary that we share our continued concerns in light of the PSF report.
