Re: “Information Regarding Concerns about Farmed Salmon - Wild Salmon Interactions"
Dear Ministers:
We are a group of academic scientists who have worked extensively on the influence of salmon aquaculture on diseases of wild salmon in BC, and the associated consequences for the sustainability of both wild and farmed salmon. Recently we became aware of a document being circulated entitled “Information Regarding Concerns about Farmed Salmon - Wild Salmon Interactions.” This document is dated March 16, 2015.
We understand that this report was requested by your Offices in order to help guide your decisions regarding possible expansion of the salmon aquaculture industry in BC. The report's author, Dr Gary Marty, concludes that salmon aquaculture does not pose a disease risk to wild salmon.
As I noted, requested by MOE!

No - I can't see where he was asked for this, OBD. It was mailed out to the various Provincial Ministers - Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and the Minister of the Environment. The only one that is Marty's "Boss" is the MoA.
