We are joining this action today bc big restaurant retailers' purchasing choices can enable the problem or add to the solution. This picture was taken in Berea, KY at a @FamilyFarmCo retreat this month to stand with fishers to say NO to GMO salmon, fish farms, & factory trawlers!

Did you know that GMO salmon sold in restaurants isn’t required to be labeled?
Today we're joining our friends at @FamilyFarmCo demanding that restaurants like @LandrysInc @LongJohnSilvers commit to #NoGMOSalmon 🐟

Native fishers harrased in Nova Scotia. We know this is going on all along the coasts targetting Native, Black, and immigrant fishers and it needs to stop.

These stories are important to share so that policy makers understand what is at stake.
"A new study shows an Atlantic salmon population in southern Newfoundland is disappearing, and it says nearby aquaculture operations are a likely contributor to the decline."

After the collapse of Blue Harvest, New England fishers know what they DONT want. "I think if we had multiple, small-scale aquaponics systems -- compared to large, industrial-size aquaculture -- I mean, it's a big difference in who benefits and how you benefit," Jarvis explained.

A coalition of #NewEngland fishermen and environmental groups is cautioning against legislation to bring more industrial-size fish farms to U.S. federal waters.

The 76 groups, based in 18 different countries, criticized the new standard.
@SeaChoice one of the #NGOs opposed to the standard, said retailers "must quit relying on these flawed certifications."

They want to put the blame on fishers, but history tells us otherwise. Welcome to myth #2 part 1! We want to thank you @salmondefense for allowing the use of Billy Frank Jr's image on these graphics and for all the work they do to ensure there's Salmon for generations to come.

Next stop: the largest fisheries corporations please. This is a good public reminder that the farmed fishing industry is tied to the soy industry because of the feed. Climate change is fueled by monocrops and animal farming. This has to change.

Instead of believing the industry's false narratives about the future of Wild fisheries, we can look to tribal managed fisheries like the @CRITFC and Community Supported Fisheries for examples of shared management systems. This is Part 2 of our 1st myth buster. Share widely!
