Protecting Wildlife

We recently ran across a website called Farmed and Dangerous. The site is dedicated to saving wild salmon, as well as other marine wildlife, in British Columbia that are being harmed and killed by salmon farms.

Currently, salmon farms are breeding grounds for sea lice, algae and various diseases, as well as polluting natural water sources with chemicals and waste that are harmful to wild salmon in the open ocean. In addition, the containment nets are the cause of hundreds of marine mammal drownings each year as they get entangled and stuck underwater.

We urge you to check out the Farmed and Dangerous website to find out how you can get involved and help stop the destruction of a valuable ecosystem.

Check out this inspirational video on YouTube to see for yourself.
