Patrick Moore, National Post • Mar. 29, 2011 |
The farming of fish goes back at least 3,000 years in China, where carp and other freshwater fish are still the main contributor to worldwide aquaculture production. Trout have been farmed for more than a hundred years around the world, and catfish have been successfully domesticated in the U.S. south. Marine shellfish, such as oysters and mussels, also have been farmed for centuries. Read more
Treating wild and farmed salmon equally

The recent decision by the B.C. Supreme Court to grant authority over salmon farming to the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans was hailed as a “major victory” by anti-salmon farm activists.

Introduction
Since its beginnings in the 1980s, salmon farming has been under a relentless attack in British Columbia, and to a lesser extent in other parts of the world.

Letter to the Editor

BC Salmon Safe from Science Scare
April 5, 2005
By Dr. Patrick Moore, PhD
The David Suzuki Foundation and its anti-aquaculture allies are bamboozling global media into believing sea lice from salmon farms are killing B.C.’s wild salmon stocks.
In a report published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, David Suzuki Foundation-funded scientists claim they have “proof” the farms cause massive sea lice infestations and salmon declines. Well, at least that’s what the authors have stated during media briefings. Read more

Interview Canadian environmentalist Patrick Moore describes himself as a treehugger. As a co-founder of Greenpeace, who was on board the Rainbow Warrior when it was blown up, he hardly has to prove his chops. Read more
Measure A should be approved
By PATRICK MOORE
Published: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 5:15 p.m.
The Mendocino Crossings proposed development, which is the subject of Tuesday’s vote in Mendocino County, will absolutely be required by law to go through the entire environmental permitting process if the measure passes. In fact, the developer will have to apply to each agency separately for permits, because Measure A would remove the “one-stop” approach to permitting. Read more
