First Nations that support and benefit from salmon farming in British Columbia have said that they aren’t being given enough time to have their say about how the Canadian government’s plan to transition the industry in BC from open-net pens will be shaped.

Salmon farmer Grieg is targeting increased production of 35,000 gutted weight tonnes at its sites in British Columbia by 2025, despite uncertainty about whether licences for its sites in BC will be renewed later this year.
