Blue Fish Radio: Why salmon farms need to be on land—not in the ocean

In this episode of Blue Fish Radio, producer/host Lawrence Gunther talks to conservationist Eric Hobson (above), winner of the 2018 Haig-Brown Conservation Award for his work on sustainable aquaculture and wild salmon conservation. Hobson is a leading proponent of transferring fish farms from the ocean to land, to eliminate their harmful impacts on wild salmon. Hobson also founded the Save Our Wild Salmon and is a Director with the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, and has personally raised many thousands of dollars for scientific investigations on open-pen fish farming impacts and the support of court challenges.
