I think one of the most effective solutions would be to ensure that there's not siting of open net-pen farms within a scientifically determined distance from salmon-bearing rivers. There's been some research on that. There's a paper by Ford et al. from about six years ago that points out that, around the world, when you put open net-pen salmon farms next to salmon-bearing rivers, you get a 50% additional mortality rate.
I think siting and designing where we put the farms is extremely important in ensuring that they are not within a distance that can actually impact wild salmon returns. I think it's important to ensure that we are addressing the sea lice issue to make sure there's less density in the farms so that you don't have a complete outbreak of sea lice. Controlling and reporting on disease is very important. I think there needs to be an incredible lot more transparency in the open net-pen farming industry so that we can actually figure out how to address the cumulative impacts on wild salmon.
Again, I go back to siting as the key one. We really just cannot put the farms next to salmon-bearing rivers. I think there needs to be some science, and maybe the reinvestment by DFO in salmon could help determine how far that distance should be.
Those would be my key recommendations.
