Canada faces $9 billion price tag for Trudeau’s BC salmon farm ban : A proposed federal ban on marine net-pen salmon farming in British Columbia could cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated CAD 9 billion (approximately $6.8 billion USD), according to a report by economic consultancy RIAS Inc. The study, commissioned by the BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA), warns of significant economic and social consequences for Indigenous communities, food security, and the broader Canadian economy. https://lnkd.in/dwcdBxmy

🌊 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Our sector operates in rural coastal communities, many of which have experienced declines in the resource sectors they rely on. We have lost 45% of our production in last six years and we cannot afford to lose anymore.

A terrible achievement of the #federal government.
Atlantic salmon production in British Columbia plunges nearly 42% to 50,000 metric tons in 2023 For the first time since records began, British Columbia accounted for less than half of Canadian farmed fish production after Atlantic salmon production in the province fell to 50,067 metric tons in 2023, a sharp 41.4% year-on-year decline, according to Statistics Canada's latest report. The value of #salmon production in BC represented almost 97% of the province's total finfish output, amounting to approximately CAD504.40 million ($360.61m) out of a total of CAD523m last year. Statistics Canada noted in the report, released on Thursday (Nov. 28), that this decline highlights the challenges faced by BC's aquaculture industry as policy changes and farm closures along wild salmon migratory routes reduce production capacity.
