"Pressure Point" is a satirical documentary series exploring British Columbia’s environmental issues through fictional interviews with politicians and senior bureaucrats. This episode looks at escaped Atlantic salmon from BC fish farms and the unlikely explanations provided by the politicians.
Many years ago I read a report that claimed that only two Atlantic salmon have ever escaped from BC fish farms in all the years those farms have been in operation. It was an incredible statement given the profusion of evidence that the numbers were much higher. I wondered what other outrageous explanations there could be for the presence of Atlantic salmon in BC's rivers and streams. — Scott Renyard
