British Columbia fish farm ban faces uncertainty amid federal silence

open-net pen fish farm ban British Columbia Fisheries and Oceans Canada environmental policy aquaculture

Stakeholders in British Columbia are seeking clarity from the Canadian federal government regarding the 2029 ban on open-net pen fish farms. While Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson stated the plan is “certainly still in place,” she noted that Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has taken over the file to determine how to proceed.

Conservation advocates, First Nations, and industry groups have reported a lack of communication from Ottawa regarding the implementation of the ban. Bob Chamberlin, chair of the First Nation Wild Salmon Alliance, expressed concern that the government may be stalling the transition to prioritize economic interests and job protection under Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration.

The original ban was introduced under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with a transition outline released in 2024. Current concerns center on whether shifting national priorities and trade disputes with the U.S. have altered the government's commitment to the original timeline.
