Tell the Prime Minister: Don't Turn Your Back on Wild Salmon.
Ottawa promised to end open-net-pen salmon farming in B.C.'s coastal waters by June 30, 2029. That promise is now in doubt, and a decision could come any day. Send your letter to the Prime Minister's Office now. It takes less than a minute.
Your letter asks the Prime Minister to:
- Publicly reaffirm the June 30, 2029 deadline
- Support a real transition to closed, land-based farming, with funding and retraining for workers and coastal communities
- Reject “semi-closed” ocean pens as a substitute
