Canadian Marine Biologist, a Maverick for Wild Salmon

Grassroot_Sally
Renown Salmon biologist Alexandra Morton- flanked by former BC Environment Minister Rafe Mair, Greenpeace co-founder Rex Weyler, and First Nations leaders- drew attention outside the Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Vancouver office last week to the federal agency's failure to protect wild salmon stocks from the impacts of open net pen salmon farms on BC's coast. Morton highlighted a memo unearthed by the Cohen Judicial Inquiry into collapsing sockeye stocks that reveals DFO's public relations work on behalf of the Norwegian salmon farming industry to counter negative public opinion on the farms.

Morton is currently spearheading a campaign to make salmon a federal election issue.
