    When 3 Coast Salish Indigenous Chiefs invited me to join their small lead boat crew to meet up with other boats from Campbell River, Comox, Lund, Quadra Island & Discovery Islands to block some restocking of open net fish farms & demand that they get out of BC waters.

  2. Tsahaukuse, George Quocksister Jr. is a #HereditaryChief of the #Laichkwiltach Nation and the son of Elizabeth and George Quocksister. He is a passionate advocate for the protection of #WildSalmon as a crucial part of his culture and the food security of his people, and is working to ban the practice of #SalmonFarming on the west coast. He lives in Campbell River, BC.

    This is from our 2020 #DiscoveryIslands flotilla protest & restocking patrol with George & 2 other BC Indigenous Chiefs(Darren Blaney & Bill Wilson) from North Island regions.

    The fight to get fish farms out of BC waters started in the late 80s & continues.

    2020.

    I was invited to go on a #flotilla #protest led by #IndigenousChiefs & leaders from the North Island in late 2019 - we went in March of 2020. To stop 2 open net fish farms, in the #DiscoveryIslands archipelago, from restocking their pens. These fish farms are remote & they don't want public to access them. No restocking was able to happen on day we went on flotilla protest & patrol.

    I've been a part of the battle here to get #FishFarmsOut for over a decade. There's finally some progress but we need to still keep up the pressure on federal & provincial governments.
    #SaveWildSalmon because they're a #KeystoneSpecies & if we lose them, it sets off chain reactions in both #ocean & #OldGrowthForest #ecosystems. Wild salmon are extremely important to the Indigenous peoples of BC & the fight to protect them goes back decades.

    Always put #WildFirst ✊️

  10. #BritishColumbia #FirstNations are initiating an #emergency #salmon #TaskForce to investigate the impact on the #sockeye salmon due to last week’s #Chilcotin River #landslide.

    “Chilcotin Rivers are kind of our identity,” Nits’ilʔin (Chief) Francis Laceese, Tl’esqox said at a press conference on Tuesday.

    “Same with the salmon, you know, that’s basically who we are. That’s our biggest food source.”

    #Tŝilhqotin National Government (TNG) is calling on all levels of government, downstream First Nations, the #PacificSalmonCommission, and other nations and states, especially #Alaskan #fisheries, to take all precautionary measures possible to conserve Tŝilhqot’in territory-bound salmon, and to immediately cease from fisheries that may impact these stocks, until the impacts from the landslide and breach are fully understood.

    A massive landslide came down last Wednesday, damming the Chilcotin River, which leads into the #FraserRiver

  11. Another BC organization that I've supported & volunteered with:

    #WatershedWatchSalmonSociety is a #ScienceBased #charity working to defend and rebuild B.C.’s #WildSalmon.

    Watershed Watch Salmon Society was founded two decades ago by a small group of passionate #conservationists. Led by #ecologist Craig Orr, they noticed that while a lot of work relating to #fisheries and #HabitatRestoration was being done on the ground on local #waterways, no one was pulling together the pieces to confront #policy decisions at the federal and provincial levels.

    Craig and his associates launched Watershed Watch Salmon Society to fill that gap, offering #ScientificExpertise to policy makers, and highlighting the large scale issues affecting local waterways, from #FishFarms to #ClimateChange.

    Watershed Watch Salmon Society involves many people beyond our paid staff and dedicated board members. We have thousands of supporters and a growing crew of #volunteers who are passionate about wild salmon. Whether you read our emails, sign our petitions, donate, get out in your #community to talk about our work or join us in the field, you are an important part of Watershed Watch.

  17. I think I’m attending my very first rally tomorrow. The #TownshipofLangley is considering rezoning a wetland in order to expand industrial land. The sign went up very recently and it seems like they are trying to get this through before the public has much chance to be informed or protest the loss of wetlands. Not sure if I’ll be able to stay the entire time, as I promised I’d drive to my mom’s tomorrow as well. #BCPoli #MunicipalPolitics #SaveWetlands #SaveWildSalmon

  18. *GOOD. Keep open net fish farms out of BC waters. Mowi is nasty. They still haven't cleaned up their abandoned hatcheries too. I have evidence. Sent to DFO.*

    The federal government is standing by its decision not to renew licences for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms in #BritishColumbia ’s #DiscoveryIslands , despite recent court challenges.

  19. @thenarwhal Finally. This has been decades long fight against open net fish farms. I got involved 16 years ago. Huge uphill battles. #SaveWildSalmon #WildSalmonAlliance

  20. Several of us in #Saanich are upset about this. We don't know how feds got away w/violating protection of garry oak trees in #CuthbertHolmes & #ColquitzRiver #SaanichParks. Cuthbert Holmes park has a covenant from orginal donor - park is to be perpetually protected & no old growth trees or any garry oaks cut. They clearcut a few hillsides. Hardly any salmon came through river since ecosystem was destroyed. I'm trying to get some answers from municipal government.
