Friends of Wild Salmon

The Gitanyow are taking things into their own hands in order to protect important salmon habitat in their territory, part of the Nass River watershed.

Mill yards in Smithers, Burns Lake and Houston show piles of whole logs ready to be turned into pellets, raising questions about the extent to which whole trees are being turned directly into pellets.

"As a biologist and a grandmother, it is my duty to issue a warning. This is a moment after which B.C. will never be the same. Many wild salmon populations can no longer decline; if this abuse continues, they can only vanish. I offer foresight. Seize this moment while there is still time. Put the salmon farms on land and allow wild salmon to survive. They are a gift we will not be given twice."

A sacred part of Tahltan territory has been protected!

Prince Rupert's Fukasaku restaurant is committed to sourcing fish from the north coast! And I know who caught my fish, where it was caught, how it was caught. And those small things add up I can put more love and respect into my dishes. - Dai Fukasaku
