I certainly took into account the fact that there was more recent science showing there may be risks to the wild Pacific salmon from pathogens and parasites.
The other aspect I took into account is that these fish face cumulative impacts that are outside of our control, such as climate change, habitat loss and, in some cases, pollution and vessel traffic. These cumulative impacts mean I have to manage the ones within my control. The viability of wild Pacific salmon is a critical, existential requirement on the west coast because of its importance to indigenous peoples—coastal and interior alike—and the British Columbia public.
