Important decisions about this vital resource should be grounded in the precautionary principle with respect to cumulative impacts, the dire state of🐟 #WildSalmon, and the scientific uncertainty around the full extent of harm caused by open net pen farms. #Cdnpoli

It’s time to audit the Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat’s and DFO’s research, review decision-making processes to restore credibility, and address DFO’s longstanding infringement on First Nations title and rights.
