As elected officials we have to make decisions that have direct effects on people's livelihoods. The more specific we can get in terms of scientific opinion, the better it is.
In the panel report it was noted,
With the possible exceptions of pathogens, it is unlikely that the impacts of salmon net-pen aquaculture on marine biodiversity along BC's coast will be broad-ranging.
It seems to me the report is saying that any impacts can be mitigated.
Can you comment on that?
