Explore the Wild Salmon Narrows
The Wild Salmon Narrows is a salmon migration route located on the east and north side of Quadra Island in the northern Georgia Strait, encompassing Hoskyn and Okisollo Channels. This narrow route is travelled by many out migrating juvenile salmon as well as adult salmon returning to spawn from their magnificent journey at sea.
Georgia Strait Alliance, with our partners at the Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform, are demanding that all fish farms be removed from the Wild Salmon Narrows.
This is a necessary emergency measure to protect wild salmon, including Fraser River Sockeye, from sea lice infection from the six fish farms that are active there. These open net-cage salmon farms must be permanently removed from a salmon migration route in the northern Georgia Strait in order to protect thousands of juvenile salmon from sea lice and other potentially fatal diseases.
