Title: Critics say DFO is burying science, guaranteeing extinction of steelhead
Post by: IronNoggin on September 30, 2019, 10:38:51 AM

In emails obtained by the BC Wildlife Federation, British Columbia government staff and scientists say Fisheries and Oceans Canada is burying science and misrepresenting a crisis situation to the public, risking the extinction of Thompson-Chilcotin steelhead trout.
