Morton Inspires Crowd of 600 in Qualicum
by Damien Gillis
Close to 600 wild salmon enthusiasts packed the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre on January 30 to take in a presentation by renown salmon biologist Alexandra Morton, and help raise funds for her important legal and scientific work to protect BC's wild salmon from the impacts of open net salmon farms.
The presentation, "Salmon Farming: The Politics & Biology" was a tour de force summary of her extraordinary decade-long battle with the Norwegian salmon farming industry and Canadian governments. The event raised $9,000 for Morton's ongoing legal exploits, and research at her Salmon Coast Field Station in the Broughton Archipelago.
