On this episode of the Rez Dog Walkers Podcast, host Dallas Smith sits down with Kitasoo Nation Deputy Chief Counselor Isaiah Robinson and Cermaq Canada Managing Director David Kimiele for an in-depth discussion on the opportunities and challenges facing the aquaculture industry in British Columbia. With wild salmon stocks in decline, First Nations like Kitasu Hei see aquaculture as a path to economic development and self-determination. Isaiah shares how salmon farming has benefited his community since the 1990s, while also allowing them to protect lands and waters. Dave explains how Cermaq is working to rebuild trust with First Nations and incorporate traditional knowledge into operations.
This candid conversation covers the science around fish farms, the need for nation-to-nation talks, building relationships between industry and Indigenous peoples, and finding balanced approaches to resource development that consider economic, environmental and social factors. Join us as we dive into the complex dynamics shaping the future of sustainable aquaculture in BC.
