It is a good thing " Vivian Krause' is in to research. Look for her interviews on Youtube. American foundations have payed over $90 million to promote so called wild Alaskan over farmed. Millions of that money went to so-called grassroots protests in western Canada. Why didn't these foundations put any money to enviromental action in the Gulf of Mexico, on the eastren seaboard or the Alaskan coast? Perhaps American born Morton would be better off watching her own waters.

We have an update for you...and it's going to blow you away. Click on our name and see what's really happened to wild salmon since you posted this video about Alexandra Morton.
Miss Morton said pink salmon will go "extinct" They didn't. She said Atlantic salmon will decimate wild spawning grounds. They havent. She says BC salmon farmers are Norwegian. They're not. Does she ever get it right? You bet, when she said.
The more we expose of the table bangers and thier sheep the more you have personal attacks. You people have no science to stand on, just american funded $'s. Welcome to the frying pan my friend. Hope you can handle the heat. Go back home Morton. I am tierd of my tax $'s going to your BS
@syalutsa ...schmarly and darkisland like to keep their heads shoved way up their asses. It's how they avoid having to deal with fish farm disease being exposed by Alexandra Morton. The more she exposes the more they whine.
@fleetyabas I dont think she can expose much at all. The Pacific Salmon Forum PSF - a non-biased scientific body ordered to look into the sea lice issue found that the studies Morton was citing (her own), were incorrect. Co-author Marty Krkosek agreed. Morton and Krkosek were asked to “recalibrate”. She concluded that “the survival of the pink salmon cohort was not statistically different from a reference region without salmon farms.” That’s right – no extinction. Not even a difference.
It's very interesting. When you check out their own sites, you find out what these individuals are into. dark island is into shlock and violence. his page is black. schmarly2007 appears to be a full time apologist for the salmon farming industry. having lived in bc and also in nb on an island surrounded by salmon farms, i can safely say thank god for Alexandra and her enlightened concerns. Support her.
@syalutsa Well, I'm Canadian, doesn't that automatically make me an "apologist"? Haha. If the definition of apologist is someone that doesn't jump over cliffs when untrained biologists speak nonsense, then I'm guilty.
Alex Mortons credibility has been tarnished beyond repair...
She was laughed out of the broughtons, but her "business" of causing issues that don't exist will keep her free money flowing until people wise up and stop following this "crack pot", as Shmarly2007 put it.
Get out of the stone ages... farming is the past, its the future. It's here to stay.
If she's being paid by US foundations she's not being paid enough. She's worth her weight in gold for the work she does to protect Pacific salmon. BC should learn from Alaska: End the promotion of Norwegian owned fish farms and invest in Pacific salmon hatcheries. Also there should be funding for salmon stream spawning grounds rehabilitation. No way should the taxpayers of British Columbia finance foreign owned fish farms that don't even raise Pacific salmon. Support pacific salmon stocks.
"Fleetyabas" - your comments are old and worthless. People aren't listening to outdated crap from people like you anymore. We've moved on. Suggest you do the same.
Don't confuse what is good for wild salmon with what is good for wild salmon fisheries - there's a big difference. It just makes people feel better about justifying their craziness if they think they are actually saving salmon - but in reality they are just attempting to save a commercial salmon fishery.
@schmarly2007 ...Oh look, it's $schmarly2007$, the voice of the people. If you Google 'we the people' it'll take you to the $schmarly2007$ home page where the movers and shakers hang out.
My pal $schmarly2007$ seems to favour farmed Atlantic salmon living in pens in the Pacific Ocean rather than Pacific hatchery salmon swimming free. Go figure!
@fleetyabas Sober up before posting. Your comments have gone from uneducated to just stupid. When people like you have nothing, you just resort to slander.
@schmarly2007 ... Well, aren't we cranky this evening! I was hoping for more of your highly irrational defence of the salmon farming industry. Guess I'll just give up on you and head back out to the pub.
LOl LOl this chick is an american and she has the edasity to call this her home, you know what alex this is my home i live and was BORN here go back home Alex. The funny thing about that comment schmalary is there are salmon farms in Alaska.

Maybe try this Morton. before you save the ocean
from the parasites of your parent's generation,
try delousing the closet in your own room.

Its a story from an american who is funded by american $'s . I think thats NUFFZED.
Folkboat11 1 year ago
Nice story...too bad its a complete lie.
Hero or crackpot? Definitely crackpot.
It's 2010 and we have record returns of sockeye salmon in BC. Ohh and awesome pink and chinook returns too.
Will she give up crying wolf every year? Of course not. Her U.S. funders still want to attack CAnadian salmon farmers and promote Alaska salmon.

She's from the U S of A! Maybe Massatussas (however the heck you spell that!).
She is paid by large US foundations to fight against Canadian salmon, which (not coincidentally) then promotes salmon from Alaska.
