Coastal Salmon runs are at a critical juncture. Without change we risk losing wild salmon forever.
Clayoquot Sound Salmon Investigation (CSI) is Clayoquot Action’s citizen monitoring program of Clayoquot Sound’s salmon farms.
Get Wild! is an educational program with the goal of protecting wild salmon, by encouraging people to ask for and purchase only wild, not farmed salmon.
The Medicine provided by this event is safe and effective. It will speed the removal of salmon farms from BC waters by 2025. It cleanses the waters, removing pests and parasites! It brings back wild salmon! And perhaps most important, it transforms anger, sadness and despair into action!
