(But there’s still more that could be done, Dawe said. She’d like to see the government restrict industrial projects in critical habitat for endangered or threatened species as new laws and policies are being developed.
“A lot of wildlife just can’t handle two more years of a free for all,” she said)

"The #SalmonPeople aren’t hardly here no more. We need to talk to them. We need you, Salmon People; the LifeGivers . You gave up your lives so we can live. It is important for our people, about who we really are. We sit in the lap of #MotherEarth learning all there is to learn…not all at once, but built up over a lifetime, every day. We need to keep learning. To never quit learning. - #Lummi #FirstNation #Elder

*GOOD. Keep open net fish farms out of BC waters. Mowi is nasty. They still haven't cleaned up their abandoned hatcheries too. I have evidence. Sent to DFO.*
The federal government is standing by its decision not to renew licences for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms in #BritishColumbia ’s #DiscoveryIslands , despite recent court challenges.
