>
> Fraser River Communities Asking For Action
>
> Now that evidence is emerging that sea lice are impacting wild salmon
> from the Fraser River, inland communities are taking notice. They want
> to know what risks their local wild salmon may be encountering as they
> migrate through the Georgia Strait. Get involved today.
>
> CAAR members recently travelled to Williams Lake as part of an effort
> to speak with local groups in the Fraser River watershed about these
> issues. During a presentation to the BC Wildlife Federation the
> audience appeared surprised to hear that local stocks-Chilco and
> Quesnel-were the dominant Fraser stocks found in the sample.
>
> At meetings in the Lytton, Lillooet and Mt. Currie areas, members of
> local First Nations and conservation groups also expressed great
> concern that the salmon they rely on to return each year may be
> affected by the open net salmon farming operations in the Georgia
> Strait. "It makes complete sense to them that the fish passing the
> farms would be impacted in the same way as local stocks, and they want
> to know what they can do about it," said Ruby Berry of the Georgia Strait Alliance.
>
> Do you live in the Fraser Basin and want to find out what you can do?
> Contact
