WildFish, end to the greenwashing of Scottish farmed salmon.

Following the move by the Scottish salmon farming industry to change its Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) from “Scottish farmed salmon” to “Scottish salmon”, WildFish has launched a new petition calling on the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) to urgently investigate industry greenwashing.

INDEX

1. In the marine waters of the Northwest, these orca whales prey exclusively on fish—and not just any fish: salmon, and preferentially Chinook, the biggest salmon in the Pacific. In this, these orcas (sometimes called Southern Residents) have plenty in common with some of the other longtime native residents of this place: the Lummi Nation.

2. In the Lummi language, the local orcas are called Qwe ‘lhol mechen.

3. When the Lummi first came to this Douglas fir and cedar cloaked land and its glacially carved bays and inlets, the Southern Residents were here to greet them.
