Friends of Clayoquot Sound: Fish farming: Creative Salmon

URGENT: Help Needed in Clayoquot Sound!

“We need to make sure a corporation doesn't paralyze the ability of environmentalists to work for conservation.”
- Valerie Langer, Director of Friends of Clayoquot Sound

A former employee of ours is being sued by fish farming company Creative Salmon for a press release we issued regarding the company's environmental performance and public claims. Creative Salmon had been publicly claiming that their fish were not being administered antibiotics. This was contrary to information we received from the Ministry of the Environment, showing that Creative Salmon had given at least 240 kg of antibiotics to its fish in the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Friends of Clayoquot Sound, our employees and supporters envision a future full of wild fish and old growth forests. We need your help to make sure a corporation doesn't paralyze the ability of environmentalists to work for conservation. As we seek to turn the tide, we have been met with resistance by the powerful forces of industry. We're feeling it and we need your help.

Please donate towards our Legal Defence Fund - because you love the wild ocean and you know it needs defenders. You can send donations marked as FOCS Legal Defence Fund to Box 489, Tofino BC, V0R 2Z0 or donate online by clicking here . If you donate online, please put FOCS Legal Defence Fund in the “In Tribute” section.

Thank you!
