Open Letter on Flawed DFO Marine Finfish Aquaculture Management Planning Process (from from Pacific Salmon Foundation, SOS Marine Conservation Foundation, David Suzuki Foundation, & Watershed Watch) Re: Conservation and Environmental Groups Regrettably Decline to Participate in Flawed Fisheries and Oceans Aquaculture Advisory Process DFO initially proposed AMAC membership would include 9 seats for industry and industry aquaculture associations -but only 3 for environmental organizations, and 2 for regional districts. Despite repeated and reasonable requests to improve the balance and input, we were informed in an April 14 2014 letter from Diana Trager, DFOs Pacific Director of the Aquaculture Management Division,that DFOs opening offer was also its closing one. Aquaculture planning was to be mainly driven by a heavy industry presence, which does little to inspire confidence that DFO is much interested in giving due consideration to environmental, cultural or social sustainability in its oversight of aquaculture.” watershed-watch.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/AMACletter-May26_2014.pdf
