The Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance (CAIA) is urging the Canadian government to increase aquaculture production by 35% by 2030, in line with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's 'Blue Transformation' roadmap to combat global hunger. Despite the industry contributing $3.86 billion to the economy and providing over 14,500 jobs, production levels have stagnated. The CAIA believes Canada has the potential to increase production, but the government has been swayed by detractors rather than science and indigenous knowledge. The Coalition of First Nations for Finfish Stewardship also calls for respect for their jurisdictions and not to remove salmon farms from their territories.
