Salmon farming is causing massive damage to the environment and ecology
wherever it is being done. Not only at the farms themselves. Massive
amounts of irreplaceable "wild" protein is being converted into fish meal
and similar. ( at a massive loss ratio!), to feed the unfortunate creatures.
The cumulative and total damage this engenders is beyond estimate, and in
many cases, already beyond repair.

Hey Mike, I appreciate your views and postings on the subject (and
thank Tim for bringing the subject up). This is a very serious issue
that needs to be addressed ASAP. It is up to anglers like ourselves
and the consumers to end this practice immediately.

This is just another way of raping nature in order to make money, but one of
the most dangerous to date. When the seas die, then mankind will die as
well. Who knows? It may be a good thing.

Sad and very true. Our very lives are based upon water and the
wholesale destruction of our waters is something that affects every
living being on this planet. Oceans can no longer be our dumping
ground or waste dump.

Does anyone know of any groups that are lobbying governments to fix
the problem and who are not environmental whackos? Unfortunately,
there are groups who use this sad fact for their political gain
(PETA, et al). I am just looking for a group to support that has no
political gain at all and is merely interested in the well-being of
people and our environment. Suggestions would be GREATLY
appreciated.
