A delicious discourse on British Columbia’s seafood #seawestnews #bcsalmon #sustainability #aquaculture

The BC Assembly of First Nations’ resolution on sa

The BC Assembly of First Nations’ resolution on salmon aquaculture collides with the very principle of Indigenous self-determination it claims to defend.
Chiefs and leaders repeatedly emphasized the protection of traditional territories, the sovereignty of lands and waters, and the importance of free, prior and informed consent, the cornerstone principle of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. Yet within the same gathering, a resolution was advanced calling for the immediate removal of all ocean-based salmon farms from the coast of British Columbia. In that moment, the strong rhetoric about Indigenous jurisdiction began to appear selective, if not contradictory. The resolution ignores an inconvenient reality. Many First Nations whose territories actually host salmon farms support those marine operations. Their support is not offered as a concession to industry, nor is it the result of coercion. Rather, it reflects deliberate sovereign decisions made by Indigenous governments that have concluded salmon aquaculture can provide jobs, stable revenue and long-term economic opportunity in communities that have historically been excluded from major development. Consider the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation in Klemtu, situated in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. In this remote and rugged coastal community, salmon farming has become the largest employer. The nation has said repeatedly that the industry has helped transform its local economy while strengthening Indigenous stewardship of the marine environment. That stewardship was recognized internationally when the region received the prestigious Blue Park Award for exceptional marine biodiversity conservation, the first such designation in Canada. Other nations have reached similar conclusions about the economic value of aquaculture partnerships. The Ahousaht and Tlowitsis Nations, for example, maintain agreements connected to salmon farming that contribute funding toward housing, education and community programs.
