WHAT:
First Nations Chief from British Columbia, Canada to present letter to Norwegian King asking that he come see the devastating effects Norwegian owned fish farms are having on BC wild salmon stocks.
Canadian First Nations Chief Bob Chamberlin will present a letter to Norwegian King Harald V inviting his Excellency to visit the Village of Gilford Island in BC to see the open net-cage farms of Norwegian salmon farming company Marine Harvest.
Published research shows that sea lice from salmon farms are seriously impacting wild salmon in British Columbia. The company has salmon farms throughout the BC coast, including in the Broughton Archipelago, where research shows high rates of sea lice infection have seriously depressed wild salmon runs.
Sea lice levels on wild salmon have been severe and population declines of 98% have been recorded in this high farm density area on the coast.
New data published in the journal Science predicts that wild pink salmon in the Broughton Archipelago will be driven to extinction within four years unless action is taken to address the deadly impact of sea lice from salmon farms.
