Fish Farms Must End Before Ecological Collapse

Let this be the LAST rally to defend and protect our salmon!! Stand Up for the Salmon, your life and every living being on the West Coast depends on them and this is not just a First Nations issue, or a BC issue, it is an INTERNATIONAL issue!!  

SAVE OUR WILD SALMON! 
END FISH FARMS NOW!!

Some people think farming is okay but I have worked in farming and mass production, it is not. They call for the fish farms to be taken from our waters and put on land but I disagree. No more fish farms, we must go back to the way it was...150, 200 years + , either we do it ourselves or Mother Earth will do it for us. May the ancestors watch over us and may we make them proud. Sending love and light to all as we undertake this monumental task.




"Dozens of Indigenous leaders and protestors rallied outside the Vancouver Convention Centre today urging the province to dismantle salmon farms along the B.C. coast.

The calls came as environmentalists and members of the Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw and the Kwikwasutinuxw Haxwamis First Nations occupy two Marine Harvest Canada salmon farms in their territorial waters off the north end of Vancouver Island.

They say the salmon farms pose a threat to wild fish populations.

Chief Willie Moon was among the many leaders who spoke at the rally. He says frustrations have mounted as repeated calls directed at the provincial and federal governments to revoke fish farm licensing in traditional Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw territory have gone unheard."

Time: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Place: Vancouver Convention Centre West Building, 1055
Canada Place


Whales can not carrying their young full term because they don't have enough wild salmon to eat! Salmon are a keystone species

"I am salmon

It is possible through scientific techniques to measure the amount of nutrients originating from dead salmon that are sequestered into trees, bugs, our bodies or even a glass of wine. Salmon hatched as far south as the wine-growing watersheds of California head out to the open ocean, migrate and feed in the North Pacific and return back to California to spawn, die, and decompose. Up to a quarter of the nitrogen found in the leaves of grape plants in these watersheds originate from the carcasses of salmon. There are thousands of individual streams in the Canada's Pacific North Coast that support various species of salmon. These salmon provide a significant role transferring nutrients from marine to terrestrial ecosystems, and supporting species from grizzly bears to water shrews. And the millions of juvenile salmon that feed along Canada's coastal waters are themselves an essential food source for many other species. " http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/oceans/science/marine-planning-and-conservation/salmon/



Every thing that depends on them will die if the salmon die. Now is the time to stand up and protect our sacred wild salmon. Link arms with the The Wild Salmon Defenders Alliance, who will rally in solidarity with Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw, Namgis and Mamalilikulla who are occupying two fish farms to assert their Indigenous rights and responsibilities to care for their unceded territory and fishing resources

 Save the whales!

 Protect the bears, the Great Spirit bear, grizzlies, black and brown bears all eat and need salmon to survive the winters. They fatten up on the salmon as the go to spawn. It's a critical part of their diet!

Sea wolves survive on salmon too! Many many animals, plants, people depend on the salmon. It is a a keystone species and must be protected at all costs.

"From mayflies whose life span is only hours long to millennia-old red cedars, salmon are enmeshed throughout all coastal species." http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/oceans/science/marine-planning-and-conservation/salmon/

While I personally feel that all mass farming and production is wrong, some feel (David Suzuki & Union of BC Indian Chiefs) that at this time, it's time to ground the Open Net-Pen Fish Farms is the best way to move forward at this time.  See links below.

Link Arms- #FishFarmsGetOut-Cleansing Our Waters


From the https://www.facebook.com/fishfarmsgetout/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED&fref=nf
Our Leaders Have Spoken. The authority of the Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw people comes from 13000+ years of having a respectful relationship with our lands and waters. When we say our waters are hurting because of fish farms, they are. It's time for BC and Canada to listen now. Thank you to all who came out to support us at our rallies in Victoria and Vancouver. You are linking arms with us as we protect our sacred way of life, Gilakasla! Thank you to Tamo Campos for creating this video that mirrors our strength back at us and gives us courage! This is only the beginning. Stay tuned for news of further action we are planning to take
