The BC Salmon Farmers Association’s independent Science Advisory Council has approved $170,000 in funding through the Marine Environmental Research Program.
The funding will support three projects which the council views as crucial to the collective understanding and sustainability of the marine ecosystem on B.C.’s coast, according to the media release.
“The BCSFA Science Advisory Council has facilitated a number of important research collaborations that are starting to provide great insight into our local ocean environment, wild salmon and furthering sustainable innovations in aquaculture,” said Jeremy Dunn, executive director of the BCSFA, in a media release.
