Summary:
Open net-pen fish farming on the migratory routes of wild salmon is responsible for the dramatic decrease of salmon returns. Open net-pen fish farms must be moved on land or banned altogether.

Submission:
There is no doubt in the non-governmental scientific research that open-pen fish farming on the migratory routes of wild salmon is responsible for the dramatic decrease of salmon returns. We need to move open-pen fish farms to land, so they are contained, or ban these farms altogether. We must act now before it is to late for our wild salmon which are so essential to life on the BC Coast.
