Citizens for Wild Salmon Take on Marine Harvest

A diverse group of wild salmon advocates, part of the Get Out Migration, led by biologist Alexandra Morton, sent a message to the worlds largest salmon farming corporation in Campbell River headquarters of the Norwegian companys Canadian operations. Marine Harvest owns close to half of all salmon farms on BCs coast, linked to the devastation of vital wild salmon runs. The concerned citizens and First Nations returned a pile of farmed Atlantic salmon to the company, just a few of the over 40,000 that recently escaped from Marine Harvests farm in Port Elizabeth. Escaped Atlantic salmon, an invasive species on BCs coast, are just one of a long list of severe ecological impacts from Norwegian open net salmon farms.

46,000 escaped.. thats nothing. In Nordfjord, northern Norway, 139,000 salmon averaging 8.8lbs (4kg) escaped due to storm damage over the Christmas period. These grilse will cause decimating troubles to the remaining wild fish stocks.
