WHY WE CREATED AN ALLIANCE?
[ THE CHALLENGE WE FACE ]
70% of the salmon consumed is farmed. These farms generate dreadful social, economic and environmental impacts.
Why? Open net salmon farms are ocean feedlots, where millions of fish are confined in floating cages, treated with chemicals and antibiotics, while their waste, parasites, and pollutants flow directly into the sea.
These farms destroy marine ecosystems, threaten wildlife and coastal livelihoods, and expand into new regions under the false label of “sustainable seafood.” In addition, behind this global industry lies a deep power imbalance that deepens global inequalities. It depletes coastal ecosystems in the Global South to produce a luxury product for the Global North. While local communities face it with scarce resources, corporations invest millions to control the narrative.
[ WHAT WE DO ]
“Resistance Movements are generated by people who refuse to accept the world as they find it and who are willing to take personal risk to make it better.”
