In the 1980s, along Canada's Pacific coast, ITT and other corporations invested heavily in salmon farming. There are now 125 salmon operations along what is known as the Sunshine Coast. Ten Dawe of the Ocean Resources Conservation Alliance says the farms have been a disaster. Dawe says the salmon pens have triggered red-tide outbreaks and polluted the foreshore with waste and the biocides, antibiotics and other medicines used to treat the fish.
