John Ivison talks with First Nations leader Isaiah Robinson on the community\u0027s salmon farming industry being under threat of government closure.
That decision was taken despite the minister receiving advice from the department of Fisheries and Oceans’ own scientists that there is “minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon” from the fish farms.“We’ve been doing our own science for over 20 years. Sea lice, containments, wild salmon, we’ve done the whole thing. The overall interaction in our work is in the agreement with DFOs, with their science in the end.
Robinson said it is unfortunate that environmentalists discredit the work First Nations have been doing in their territories.
