Marine Harvest Canada has announced that it supports the path forward regarding salmon aquaculture in the Broughton Archipelago in Victoria by the Government of British Columbia and the Governments of the Kwikwasutinuxw Haxwa'mix, 'Namgis, and Mamalilikulla First Nations.
The plan, as announced by B.C. Premier John Horgan, representatives of the First Nations, and salmon farming companies including Marine Harvest Canada, will protect wild salmon, address longstanding First Nations concerns about finfish aquaculture in the area, and protect resource jobs.
"We approached these discussions seeking solutions that would both address the concerns of the First Nations and maintain our commitment to the wellbeing of our employees, support businesses, and stakeholders. Going forward, we see the implementation of the recommendations as a positive step toward building mutual goodwill, trust, and respect as we work to earn First Nations consent of our operations in their Territories, said Marine Harvest Canada Managing Director Dr Diane Morrison.
