When it comes to wild salmon, British Columbia's Fraser River is a global jewel - it is one of the largest salmon producing rivers in the world.

Research is now showing that Fraser River sockeye are at risk of being infected with sea lice as they migrate past open net-cage salmon farms in the Wild Salmon Narrows of the northern Georgia Strait. This is a major concern as research in Europe has shown that sea lice infection can cause major population declines on wild fish much larger than our juvenile sockeye.

Watch the video below to see researchers in action last year, and read CAAR's press release about the latest preliminary science.

Then, get involved with us and ask the government to live up to their responsibility to protect our oceans and wild salmon.  Join the Wild Salmon Narrows campaign to close the active farms in the Narrows!

Together, we can work together to help protect Fraser River wild salmon from sea lice.
