Broughton First Nations 'do not consent to the continued operation' of remaining Mowi, Cermaq salmon farms in their territories

Without the consent of the First Nations, the companies can no longer operate in the Broughton Archipelago.

In 2017 members of the ‘Namgis and Mamalilikulla Nations asked for salmon farms to be removed from Broughton Archipelago. Eventually following the protest, there was a first-of-its-kind agreement between the Canadian government and Broughton First Nations over a transition plan.
