The agriculture of salmon delivers pathogen-free, genetically-consistent farm animals produced on a scientific basis, as food safe as you get from any farms in the world.
As a matter of fact, the science of agriculture is humanity's first science, after first aid, one presumes. It would be humanity's move toward civilization.
The agriculture of fish is no less of a move toward living in civilization than agriculture of wheat, or canola. This is a move toward food security and better health, considering the scientific standards applied to the production of these animals.
If there wasn't a hidden agenda, somewhere, this reality would not be in dispute.
How much more destruction of the ocean environment results from overfishing? Entire ecosystems will collapse if humanity over fishes the oceans.In relation to the true nature of issues, the world's environment as impacted by agriculture is nothing compared to the plunder of resources.
The reason the salmon in pens are any issue whatsoever, is, honestly the politicians who govern Canada in a manner that says, "We know something you don't," when they don't listen to the science, the market, the labor force, and the people in communities where industry wants to invest.
They govern Canada like it's a lost cause, in so many ways, including this issue with the agriculture of salmon on the longest coast in the world.
As long as Canadians allow political parties to govern this way, it's going to feel like a lost cause, and turn into a lost cause.
And there is no reason on Earth for this to be the case. And no reason why Canadians in British Columbia, including Indigenous Canadians, cannot continue to farm salmon for millions of consumers.
