Major Milestone Reached by Grieg Seafood BC Ltd. 

The BC Salmon Farmers Association, along with our members and employees, are reaching out to the Federal Liberal Caucus as you visit our beautiful island this week. As you enjoy this coastal paradise, we urge you to consider the impact your government's recent decision will have on the more than 4,600 jobs supported by the salmon farming sector.

Your government’s June announcement to “ban open net-pen salmon aquaculture in British Columbia coastal waters by June 30, 2029,” has caused global cascading impacts. The draft plan detailing this transition has not been released, missing your own deadline of July 31.
