Sea Lice is a major problem for our little salmon and is causing a drastic reduction in salmon stocks in Clayoquot Sound. You can see the damage already caused in the Broughton Archipelago. Just look at what the effects were in Oregon and California- fishing is closed!
How is this happening? Why are sea lice such a problem? These are common questions that are continually asked. Check out this video which discusses Salmon Farming and the sea lice problem. There is an excellent article in the new 'Be WIld in BC' magazine produced by the BC Wilderness Tourism Association here.
The effect of sea lice on our wild salmon is staggering. And in turn, if we don't do something about it now, there may not be wild salmon left for our children.
