By June, the NDP has to decide whether or not 20 salmon farm tenures in the Broughton Archipelago will be renewed. The stance of the group of 50 chefs is that salmon farming is unsustainable and bad for the environment and the farms do not have the support of First Nations. They say waste can build up from the tens of thousands of captured salmon in pens - and chemicals are used to stop the spread of lice. The chemicals and waste can go on to impact healthy wild stocks. They’re encouraging us to be more aware and engaged with what we’re eating, and avoid the farmed salmon.
