“The Pacific Salmon Foundation’s independent science has been instrumental in providing evidence-based data and research that First Nations can use when making decisions about the future of open-net pen salmon farms in their territories. As legal counsel to several First Nations, I’ve seen firsthand how PSF’s research has helped assess potential risks to wild salmon and inform decisions about their lands, waters, and resources.”

“Sitting on PSF’s Grants Committee, I’ve seen the investment the Community Salmon Program makes into communities across the province, and what it does for people and kids. It pulls communities together and creates education and awareness about salmon.”
