B.C. salmon farm closure decision was necessary, says DFO amid court challenges
Posted: Mar. 23, 2023 12:17PMAn Atlantic salmon is seen during a Department of Fisheries and Oceans fish health audit near Campbell River, B.C. Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018
The statement says recent science suggests uncertainty about risks posed to wild salmon by the area’s farms and the federal government is taking a precautionary approach to help ensure the well-being of threatened species. Mowi’s application filed this week in Federal Court in Vancouver seeks an order quashing or setting aside the decision and a declaration that Murray’s determination was “unreasonable, invalid and unlawful.”
The application says the company’s workforce has been reduced from 645 employees to 312 and the “decision only deepens the harms to Mowi’s business, Indigenous self-governance and the economy of coastal B.C.”
