New paper published by Alexandra Morton and Richard Routledge:
Risk and precaution: Salmon farming, Marine Policy, December 2016, Pages 205-212.
Highlights
- The collapse of Canada’s biggest salmon run triggered a commission which made 75 recommendations.
- Two of the recommendations focused on the potential risk of salmon farming.
- If salmon farms cause greater than minimal risk of serious harm they should cease to operate by 2020.
- “Minimal” is defined as a proportion and the risk is evaluated through the weight of science.
- Salmon farms in the region of concern present greater than minimal risk of serious harm.
