Pro-salmon farming First Nations dive deeper into battle over sector's future in Canada

With Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) looking at whether to renew 66 marine finfish licenses in British Columbia that are set to expire by the end of June, British Columbia-based First Nations for Finfish Stewardship Coalition is publicly highlighting the sector’s importance to First Nations-led territories where salmon farms operate.

The coalition has released what it calls a "textbook" of information on fish farms titled "Modern Salmon Farming in British Columbia," covering hot-button issues such as sea lice, salmon escapes and incidental catches.
