The federal government's plan to ban open net-pen salmon aquaculture in British Columbia coastal waters by June 30, 2029, is unrealistic, the BC Salmon Farmers Association says.
On Wednesday, June 19, Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, announced the Government of Canada ban on open net-pen salmon aquaculture in British Columbia coastal waters by June 30, 2029. But the five-year period to fully transition from traditional farming infrastructure poses challenges for further investments in technology and innovations and will further impact the coastal communities who rely on the aquaculture sector, the BCSFA says in a statement.
Salmon farmers are committed to fighting for their communities and working with all levels of government, the First Nations whose territories they operate in, and various other stakeholders to find a responsible, realistic, and achievable path forward, the BCSFA statement says. The organization is hopeful the federal government’s transition plan will provide that opportunity.
