The Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) made a number of recommendations for salmon aquaculture in 1997. Have they been implemented?
Thirty-nine of the EAO’s 49 recommendations have been adopted as they were put forward in the Salmon Aquaculture Review. Another six have been partially implemented. Four recommendations have not been adopted either because a different approach has been taken to address the topic or because the recommendation is not applicable to current programs or to provincial activities or responsibilities. All provincial aquaculture initiatives undertaken since 1999 have been developed based on the spirit and intent of the EAO recommendations and the province now considers implementation of the EAO recommendations to be complete. Work will continue in order to make continued improvements to the management and performance of the B.C. aquaculture industry.
