Save British Columbia's Salmon

This petition was published by Danielle on Mar 12, 2010

To the House of Commons,

We, the undersigned, respectfully urge that action be taken to address the following:

THAT the emergence of SLICE resistance in Nootka Sound, BC, and the spreading of these sea lice by Walcan Seafood Ltd. processing plant on Quadra Island has been reported;

THAT these sea lice will have a negative impact on the survival of wild salmon populations near Nootka Sound, as well as in the Discovery Islands and the Fraser River, which are already experiences difficulties;

THEREFORE, your petitioners suggest opening a formal investigation carried out by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as allocating more funds for scientific investigations to measure the resistivity of sea lice that have currently infected juvenile salmon in Nootka Sound and the viability of the sea lice that are discharged from the outfall pipe in the processing plant.
