      Wild salmon conservation? Or conservation of the environment around fisheries?

      Here down in the Patagonian fjords salmon fisheries are wrecking the ecosystems.

        Wild salmon! fuck salmon farming in all its forms, the net-pens in Washington and British Columbia have been absolute disasters for the environment in every way imaginable, but of course the aquaculture companies have successfully bought the relevant regulatory agencies so there's no question of shutting them down

          Imagine what could we expect from our third world environment agencies. Yet at the same time we put money on research that concludes "you gotta shut down these farms right now".
