Wild Salmon Advocates Call for Cermaq Chief's Resignation

Wild salmon advocates on the historic Get Out Migration called for the resignation of Geir Isaksen - CEO of Norwegian Government-owned Cermaq, the world's second largest salmon farming corporation - at the company's headquarters in Campbell River, over his failure to protect BC's wild salmon from the ecological impacts of his company's farms. Salmon conservation groups have been pushing for the clearing of the the "Wild Salmon Narrows", a critical migratory pathway for embattled Fraser River sockeye and other wild salmon. Isaksen recently rejected calls to close just two Cermaq-owned farms despite having called for such precautionary measures himself in his 2009 report to shareholders.
