Excellent article!
Won't open for me?
Excellent article!
We need to end most if not all commercial fisheries, especially the ones that export fish.
Forestry has to be reworked.
Or fish will be done

good comments on how small business and tourism creates more economic value than the big lumber farmers
I don't like it but maybe this is the new way forward, and we need to build partnerships

That is a big question.
If I could get my wish list it would be huge but some things are:
There would be no indiscriminate logging where they clean off the whole mountain sides anywhere in BC.
Particularly in coastal BC anywhere close to salmon bearing streams. Logging even if it's kilometres away from streams still affects them because of the way it holds the snow pack, erosion.
The whole practice of mono culture in forestry is also a bad practice. It's done just because it's profitable.
We need old growth forest. We need to leave more areas completely intact.
Not just for the fish.
We need deciduous trees among the conifers.
We need to shut the commercial fisheries for export down.
These herring roe, chum roe fisheries are devastating.
They count the numbers of fish that return not because they want to conserve them, but because they want to know how many they can harvest.
We need to implement breaks in watersheds for say 5 years. We leave them alone. No fishing.
We need to be better organized at rebuilding watersheds and estuaries. People want to help, they just don't know how and where.
We need to rethink power generation in salmon bearing watersheds.
Kill those run of the river power plants that don't really do jack.
We need to rethink urbanization. We don't have to pack everyone in one tin can.
List goes on.
Its all connected.
The problem is no one thing will do anything significant, but a little bit of a lot of things can make an impact.
They try to change one thing and when it doesn't do anything they revert back thinking it's not helping.
Nobody is looking at the big picture.
Science is used too often to destroy us. Science is not always right, it's in fact mostly wrong.
Good luck the logging, fishing lobbyist have way more money and the ear of the Gov.. I totally agree and have been saying it for years,let’s start with removing all nets from our oceans and rivers.. Sadly won’t ever happen..
