On Sept. 9, advocates held a press conference to ask for the federal government to step in and provide disaster relief to help a struggling industry.

“British Colombia’s coastal salmon fishery is experiencing a disaster,” said Gavin McGarrigle, regional director of Unifor Western. “It’s hard to overstate the importance of the salmon run to local economies up and down B.C.’s coast.”

“We need to talk to the government about what climate change adaptation is going to look like for the commercial industry in the future, but we need something to keep the bodies and souls of those people together,” she said.

Climate change or over fishing?

Guess ignoring climate science and not diversifying a bad idea

Get rid of the hydro dams

No
