Summary:
It is clear that DFO, the provincial government and the Cohen Commission should close open net fish farms and move them inland.

Submission:
I am one of several professional engineers employed by Canadian Pacific railway, canadian National Railway, B.C.Rail and several road authorities who, on behalf of our employer spent thousands of extra dollars in the design and supervision of projects across and near rivers and streams to protct and sustain wild salmon and other fish. It is heart breaking to see these fish killed by open net fish farms. It is a no brainer for the DFO, the provincial government and your commission to close the open net fish farms and move them inland.
