Who Owns The Ocean?

About this episode

The episode discusses the impending court and ministerial decisions affecting the fish farm industry and First Nations interests.

The Salmon People and the fish farm industry are waiting on two big announcements: one from the court and the other from the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. Each group is worried the decisions won’t go their way. The first time the Court evaluated the Minister’s decision on fish farms – the industry won, and the consultations on transitioning fish farms out of the water by 2025 – started all over again.  And this time,  everyone  wants to be heard. But something odd happens – the First Nations and the fish farms seem to be getting more of the Minister’s time.
