The Common Sense Canadian's video coverage of the historic walk for wild salmon down Vancouver Island, culminating in Victoria on May 8. Wild salmon advocates take to the streets and take on big Norwegian corporations to take back their wild salmon."

A diverse group of wild salmon advocates, part of the “Get Out Migration,” led by biologist Alexandra Morton, sent a message to the world’s largest salmon farming corporation in Campbell River – headquarters of the Norwegian company’s Canadian operations. Marine Harvest owns close to half of all salmon farms on BC’s coast, linked to the devastation of vital wild salmon runs. The concerned citizens and First Nations returned a pile of farmed Atlantic salmon to the company, just a few of the over 40,000 that recently escaped from Marine Harvest’s farm in Port Elizabeth. Escaped Atlantic salmon, an invasive species on BC’s coast, are just one of a long list of severe ecological impacts from Norwegian open net salmon farms.

Wild salmon advocates on the historic Get Out Migration called for the resignation of Geir Isaksen - CEO of Norwegian Government-owned Cermaq, the world's second largest salmon farming corporation - at the company's headquarters in Campbell River, over his failure to protect BC's wild salmon from the ecological impacts of his company's farms. Salmon conservation groups have been pushing for the clearing of the the "Wild Salmon Narrows", a critical migratory pathway for embattled Fraser River sockeye and other wild salmon. Isaksen recently rejected calls to close just two Cermaq-owned farms despite having called for such precautionary measures himself in his 2009 report to shareholders.

On the eve of the kick-off of the "Get Out Migration", Rafe Mair wishes Alex Morton Godspeed and urges all British Colombians to join her on her historic trek down Vancouver Island. The march was intended to rally the public and send a message to governments that it's time to remove open net salmon farms from BC's coast and help save our embattled wild salmon.
