Summary:
I am concerned about open net farmed salmon aquaculture in our oceans. The preservation, protection and enhancement of our wild fish have clearly not been the priorities of Fisheries management. It is within the commission’s power to assist in removing at least one of the known causes of salmon fry mortality. If the commission’s findings show that there is any link whatsoever to salmon aquaculture and wild salmon fry mortality; now, in the past, or with the potential for future contamination, I implore you to make a stand now against open net salmon farming in our waterways.
