Sea Lice issue update

Here's a note of interest on the fish farm/sea-lice issue from filmmaker Twyla Roscovich. Great little videos she produces....check them out at her website.
Thank god fish farms were halted for the Skeena rivermouth!



Hi Everyone. This is a note to inform you of the latest video posting. The Fraser River is possibly the largest salmon producing river in the world. Most of the juvenile sockeye which leave this river migrate north up the coast through the inside of Vancouver Island. In doing so they pass by many industrial salmon farms which are breeding grounds for sea lice, which are known to be lethal to juvenile wild salmon. In this episode we visit with a research project underway in the Discovery Islands off of Campbell River where a small crew is sampling the juvenile sockeye salmon along their out-migration to sea. The sampling crew is finding alarming levels of lice on these juvenile sockeye, which represent Canada’s most important run of salmon. Watch the video and find more info at: http://www.callingfromthecoast.org/Please forward this email onto anyone who may have an interest in this issue. If you want off this notification list, just reply to this email with a short request.Cheers, Twyla & Paul
