Fish farming is pushing wild salmon to the brink of extinction. The federal government has promised to remove fish farms from BC waters by 2025, but now the industry is pushing back with false solutions.

The fish farms have been removed from Broughton Inlet. Salmon and the ecosystem dependent on salmon have returned and are thriving.

Join Clayoquot Action’s fish farm watchdog program as a team of underwater cinematographers investigates an “experimental” fish farm near Tofino. What they find surprises them and spells potential disaster for wild salmon.

This film looks at the impacts of salmon farming through the eyes of those fighting to protect wild salmon from extinction. Featuring First Nations members Skookum John, Keltsmaht First Nation and Joe Martin, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, and Kwakwabalas – Chief Ernest Alfred, traditional and elected leader of the ‘Na̱mg̱is First Nation, as well as scientist and best-selling author Alexandra Morton.
