Federal decision to shut down B.C. salmon farms prompts company court challenge

Mowi’s application seeks an order quashing or setting aside Murray’s decision to shut down the company’s 11 open-net salmon farms located off the Discovery Islands, near Campbell River. The federal government has not responded to the application, but as she announced the decision last month Murray said recent science indicates uncertainty over the risks fish farms pose to wild salmon and government was committed to transition away from the open-net farms.

Fight it, better to farm then deplete the ocean
