The 'Salmon Are Sacred' march is underway on Vancouver Island.
The activists say the collapse of the BC wild salmon industry can be blamed on salmon fish farms.
They say wild juvenile salmon heading out to sea pick up so much lice and other parasites as they pass fish farms that they die before they can ever return as adults to spawn.
The group is lead by a renowned biologist who wants government to force salmon farms into closed containment facilities.
The march began today in Port McNeill.
