The relationship between the aquaculture industry and those government offices responsible for regulating their actions must be clarified in order to satisfy public suspicion. In its research and recommendations on the industry, the commission should err on the side of protecting wild salmon.

Submission:

The relationship between the aquaculture industry and those government offices responsible for regulating their actions must be clarified in order to satisfy public suspicion. I have read evidence that convinced me that our wild stock are endangered. Look at the facts, listen to unbiased researchers, go out on the water and then err on the side of protecting the salmon. Our economy cannot be maintained on the destruction of species.
