Aged 13 I picked up a book in my school library. Listening to whales by Alexandra Morton. It changed my life, It brought me to British Columbia and it brought me to Alex!   Alexandra Morton settled in a remote area of the BC coast in 1984 to study orca vocalizations.  When impact of the industrial salmon farms flooding into the area became apparent, Morton began a 35-year effort to convince government to halt the damage by this industry.  She has published dozens of scientific papers on the impact , built the research station Salmon Coast to document the impact, filed 5 lawsuits and never lost, and then occupied the farms with First Nations for 280 days.  Nearly half salmon farms in BC have now been closed. Another round of consultations are underway on the fate of the remaining farms.  Salmon farming in BC is run by three Norwegian based companies, Greig, Mowi and Cermaq.  Morton’s recent book Not on My Watch chronicles, among other things, the coverup of impact of farm salmon pathogens on wild salmon.  Show Notes: - https://www.alexandramorton.ca - https://www.clayoquotaction.org - https://psf.ca - https://bati4salmon.ca
