About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges and activism surrounding fish farms on the west side of Vancouver Island, particularly in Tofino.
Last season we heard a lot about fish farms on the east side of Vancouver Island, the farms in the Discovery Islands and the Broughton Archipelago. The west side of the island has 20 fish farms, 14 of them operated by Cermaq, one of the big three Norwegian-based companies. It turns out Tofino has a small, dedicated group working hard to bring fish farm problems to everyone’s attention. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
