Fisheries Regulations Threaten Wild Salmon Stocks - Respond by Sep. 12

New proposed federal regulations threaten BC wild salmon stocks.  Once these regulations pass there will be no further public input on how each salmon feedlot licence is written, how many wild fish they can take and what diseases they must report. The federal licences will be issued without First Nation or other consultation and can be expanded without an environmental assessment.
