Stop Salmon Farming, For Good (Ullapool Community Event, March 2024)
Stop Salmon Farming for Good
What is wrong with open cage salmon farming in Scotland and what do we do about it? “Stop salmon farming, for good". We want:
• Local communities having the final say on all salmon farm developments and the right to review and amend the planning permissions for all existing salmon farms • An end to the dumping of salmon farm sewage, chemicals, plastic, and parasites in our sea lochs • All government grant funding and subsidies being given to overseas salmon farming corporations to be diverted into our local community action and development groups • Vibrant and diverse local economies that don’t require us to destroy the places we live and in which we have more of a say and share in more of the benefits
