Mowi, along with other salmon farming companies, faces potential legal action due to the Canadian government's decision not to renew their licences in the Discovery Islands region of British Columbia. This decision is part of an effort to protect wild Pacific salmon, despite criticism from the farming industry and the British Columbia Salmon Farmers Association. The association claims the government failed to properly consult with the industry and has shown favoritism to anti-salmon farm campaigners. The response from First Nations communities is mixed, with some expressing support for the decision and others feeling unfairly treated.
