Good to see a lot of FF's closed since I last posted a while ago but I see Bob is still with them.

“ Wealthy, urban activist groups in Vancouver spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to bombard your social media with   misleading information about salmon farming. Rather than spending that money on wild Pacific salmon revitalization projects or habitat restoration, they flood your phones with emotive images and oversimplified statements with the intent to sway government decision-makers and ultimately harm our communities and our rights as Indigenous peoples.”

Don't think will see much more movement even tho removing fish farms is popular in BC it will see be seen as the Liberals being anti Jobs and economy by the rest of the country.

99% of First Nations are against salmon farms.

Saw this interesting article on the UBC website: https://science.ubc.ca/news/salmon-virus-originally-atlantic-spread-bc-wild-salmon-farms
It talks about the PRV virus that comes from infected Atlantic eggs from Norway that causes kidney and liver damage in Chinooks here.

Illegal to insert infected fish into the ocean - a First Nations tribe has a court case against DFO for this issue.

all the remaining Fish Farms have agreements with local first nations

I don't think the ROC gives a dam about open net salmon farming in BC and won't even blink if they all disappear. Salmon farming interests have started to move to the Maritimes and plan big expansion but already are encountering similar issues and opposition as has been seen in BC:
