Submission:

It’s important that Canadian and American scientists work together to determine the impacts and course of action associated with recent and past detections of ISAv in wild Pacific salmon.



Now is not the time for political fingerpointing as this will only delay actions necessry to protect and restore our region’s wild Pacific salmon and their ecosystems.



This may likely be the only opportunitiy in the foreseeable future for our great nations to work together to ensure robust populations of healthy, wild Pacific salmon for this and future generations.
