Salmon Aquaculture: The Society conducted research and engaged in public education campaigns concerning the impacts of salmon aquaculture on wild fish and their ecosystems. It engaged with regulators to refine and improve regulation and enforcement; and it participated in consultative processes to develop essential lines of scientific inquiry. It participated in multi-stakeholder processes designed to improve regulation and public confidence in regulation.
Marine Debris; The Society mounted a number of expeditions involving 12 volunteers to Northern Vancouver Island for the purpose of foreshore restoration work. The expedition recovered approx. 5 metric tones of plastic debris and ghost fishing gear, which was sorted for re-use, recycling and landfill.
The Society provided support and direction, as well as core support services, to the Wild First campaign. Wild First is dedicated to protecting wild salmon and their habitat.
