In April, Julie Gelfand, Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, released a damning report blasting government for failing to manage the risks associated with salmon aquaculture in Canada, and particularly in Atlantic Canada.
Then, just three weeks later, a court case put a local spotlight on Gelfand’s findings, as New Brunswick-based Northern Harvest Sea Farms pled guilty in provincial court to the illegal use of pesticides in an effort to stop a sea lice outbreak at one of its Grand Manan fish farms last summer. #nbpoli
