The Watershed Watch Salmon Society is sounding the alarm on data collected by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) that show an unprecedented spike in wild fish killed in B.C. salmon farm operations.

According to DFO, 817,000 wild fish — nearly all herring—were reportedly killed in open-net pen salmon farm operations in 2022. That’s an almost five-fold increase from the previous year and a 21-fold increase from 2020.

  1. We can’t even figure out something as simple as “fish farming” and yet somehow the “experts” want us to believe they have the infinitely more complicated climate figured out and are going to solve that one too.
