Yes...saw this on CBC's "The National". Against everything, including salmon farming. Built nothing. No longer a scientist (and I studied his Genetics textbook in University). Purely an activist pseudoscientist duping the public for profit (reportedly 3 mansions/ high end dwellings in B.C.?!!?). Purely "David Suzuki, Inc.". Fraud. Sad that so many Canadians revere him. #aquaculture #salmon

Witness what will probably be David Suzuki’s last time on CBC. I don’t this they appreciated his take on the Artemis mission.

Iceland isn’t choosing between ocean salmon farming or land-based farming. It is advancing both. Why? Because the two are deeply connected through shared expertise, infrastructure, innovation, investment and supply chains. Canada should be strengthening the entire aquaculture ecosystem, not weakening it. 👉seawestnews.com/iceland-shows-… #Aquaculture #BlueFood #SalmonFarming #FoodSecurity #BlueEconomy

... and does not impact the wild salmon or the environment contrary to the pseudoscientific activist idealogues. #aquaculture #salmon
BC Salmon Farmers@BCSalmonFarmers

Behind every piece of BC farm-raised salmon is a story of economic resilience. 🌊 Our sector supports over 4,000 jobs and contributes $1.2 billion in annual economic output. That's real impact for real local communities. When you choose BC farm-raised salmon, you're supporting Canadian families. 🇨🇦 #BCSalmonFarmers #EconomicImpact #CanadianJobs #SupportLocal #CdnPoli #BCPoli

Salmon farming in rural and remote coastal communities is not an abstract policy debate. It is paycheques, small businesses, and young people deciding whether they can stay in their home communities. Sign the petition and tell Ottawa to protect it. #action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">keepfoodaffordable.ca/#action

When you're an #activist and you post something that describes how @PSF's stable of #activist #scientists work on their anti #aquaculture campaigns but aren't quite bright enough to grasp the irony.

If tobacco companies proposed a levy on every cigarette sold, used to fund a new science center with a scientific model framed on centuries old superstitions, and then said if not allowed this phantom source of revenue will be killed, what would people say? #bcpoli #ottawa @UBCIC

How do anti #aquaculture groups know so little about the #regulations the induatry function under in BC. This post is misinformation. BC farms are monitored at peak biomass and must pass a pre-entry threshold before fish can go back in. Best environmental regs in the world!
Wild First@wildfirstcanada

New reporting from the Sunstone Institute examines nutrient pollution and ecosystem impacts beneath salmon farming sites across Norway’s coastline. Protecting wild salmon means paying attention to what’s happening below the surface, too. Read: wildfirst.ca/sunstone-inves…

Yes, and these regulations have forced a lot of consolidation and foreign takeovers. Oh, well. #aquaculture #salmon
Stronger America Through Seafood@Seafood4America

A new study published this year shows #aquaculture is the most heavily regulated food sector in the U.S.—facing nearly 8x more federal regulations than livestock. @IntraFish reports that “The study, conducted by researchers at universities in the United States, United Kingdom and Finland, also found that U.S. aquaculture is subject to five times more environmental regulations than sectors like beef and lamb, despite having a lower environmental impact than those sectors.” “The current regulatory landscape may be unintentionally disadvantaging several lower-environmental-impact food industries, especially aquaculture; this could represent a missed opportunity to address the need for more foods with lower environmental impacts,” wrote the researchers.

Sunday Morning Musings: To liken the tobacco industry to salmon farming - one of the most efficient and environmentally sound methods that we have to produce seafood (or just food!) - is one of the most sick and depraved posts that I have ever seen. The backlash gives you the political leaders that you deserve. Pathetic. Wake up. #aquaculture #salmon

A recently published opinion piece highlights how the bipartisan MARA Act would help secure Florida and other coastal communities’ seafood future. Award winning chef Steve Phelps and Megan Sorby, founder of Pine Island Redfish, explain “the MARA Act ensures that growth happens only where it is environmentally appropriate and places heavy emphasis on science and data to determine that: understanding where, how and whether offshore #aquaculture can expand while protecting ocean ecosystems.” Read their full op-ed: bit.ly/3QBoEKs
