BCSFA Commitment to Sustainability

We believe that a sustainable organization seeks to participate within its community to balance economy, society and environment within its operations. By seeking balance, we believe an organization will be better able to take into account the needs of future generations and will be a better steward of natural and economic resources. We believe coastal economies, such as our coastal communities, must protect and nurture their ecological roots to support long term growth.

BC salmon farmers live and work in coastal communities and have a vested interest in ensuring that our work and operations have minimal environmental impact.  We know that the health of our fish, our farms, the environment and our communities are interwoven and interdependent.  Our dedication to environmental protection, human health and sustainability are linked together with respect for the fish in our care.  This stewardship role is a responsibility and a privilege that our members take to heart.
