Groups Join Together in Exposing Problems With Farmed Salmon & Call on Supermarkets to Change
Released as part of the Global Week of Action (October 20-25, 2008), In a Nutshell - The Problems with Salmon Farms in BC is a new online video that takes viewers up Canada’s Pacific coast to experience the devastating role salmon farms are playing in the decline of wild salmon and the degradation of coastal ecosystems resulting from these losses. The video is a collaboration by filmmaker Twyla Roscovich and the Pure Salmon Campaign.
"Sea lice has the capacity to literally bring (wild salmon) populations to extinction. This is basic ecology."
--Dr. John Volpe, from "In a Nutshell"
CAAR is calling on consumers to take a moment to watch this video and
put your buying power to work by telling the management of your
supermarket why you’re concerned about open net-cage salmon farming.
We want to encourage managers to ask their suppliers for more sustainable
products, and help protect wild salmon by supporting closed containment.
