Cermaq Canada and the Ahousaht First Nation have renewed a five-year protocol to direct how Cermaq will farm salmon in their indigenous territory, into the future.

The latest protocol agreement focusses on the priorities of Ahousaht and its peoples' vision for socio-economic development, environmental protection and oversight of their territory.

Cermaq Canada operates in the Ahousaht Territory under the Ahousaht Protocol Agreement and through the governance process of the Ahousaht Ha'wiih (hereditary chiefs) as represented by Maaqtusiis Hahoulthee Stewardship Society (MHSS).
