Summary:
Put an end to open net fish farming in BC.

Submission:
Dear Committe, please let my voice be added to those that want an end to Open Net Fishfarming in BC. From What I have read, I believe they are a major contributor to the decline of Wild Stocks, This is totally unacceptable, the poisoning of the Wild Stocks so that a few People can profit. If Farming is to take place it should only be permitted on Land in a system proven not to release, Parasites or nutrients back into the ocean. We have a great natural resource that we could manage for perpituity however we need to get the Fish Factories out of our oceans NOW. Not only that ,,What a great waste harvesting fish in south america to feed farmed fish up here. Please end this madness and help us return to cleaner , safer oceans for our Wild Salmon Stocks.
