Summary:

DFO must seriously consider their looming responsibility for regulating the aquaculture industry. Canadians need to be aware of the Fraser sockeye’s sacred roots and its connection to a larger ecology.

Submission:

I sincerely hope that the DFO has the fortitude to listen to the evidence and seriously consider their looming responsibility for regulating the aquiculture industry. The Fraser’s Sockeye are emblematic, connected to a larger ecology; their sacred roots must be respected. Canadian’s need to be shown this ancient truth.
