#wildsalmon — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Photos from #Tofino #WildSalmon #FishFarmsOut #Flotilla #Protest led by #Indigenous #FirstNations leaders from #VancouverIsland. Wild salmon are a #keystonespecies & need protection. Government failed on federal & provincial levels to help #SaveWildSalmon & they're at risk of #extinction in my lifetime. #MotherNature needs humans to stand up, speak out & take actions to try to protect #WildFirst - we're past tipping points w/rampant #ecocide & need to stop trying to profit from nature. #Canada
