Canada to Ban Fish Farms in British Columbia by 2029 Amid Environmental Concerns

The Canadian government has announced a ban on fish farms in British Columbia waters by 2029, a decision driven by concerns over the impact of fish farming on wild salmon populations. This move, following the 2012 Cohen Commission’s findings, aims to protect ecological health while balancing economic interests, especially for Indigenous communities. As stakeholders engage in dialogue, the future of sustainable aquaculture remains at the forefront of environmental conservation efforts.
