Target: Ms. Joyce Murray, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard
Goal: Advocate for the protection of the North Atlantic salmon, which is threatened by habitat loss and overfishing.
The North Atlantic salmon is a keystone species in Canada’s aquatic ecosystem and an essential cultural and economic resource for many communities. However, habitat loss and overfishing have led to a significant decline in its population, putting the species at risk of extinction.
The North Atlantic salmon plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of Canada’s aquatic ecosystem. The decline in its population has far-reaching consequences, including the loss of other aquatic species and negative impacts on the environment. It also has severe economic consequences for Indigenous communities, recreational fishing, and the fishing industry.
The protection of the North Atlantic salmon is essential to maintaining Canada’s aquatic ecosystem’s health and preserving its cultural and economic importance.
We must take action to protect the North Atlantic salmon. This will involve measures such as habitat restoration, implementing sustainable fishing practices, and enforcing existing laws to prevent overfishing.
We urge the Minister Murray to prioritize the protection of the North Atlantic salmon and take swift and decisive action to address the threats to its population. It is imperative that we take action now to ensure the survival of this keystone species and preserve the health of Canada’s aquatic ecosystem.
Through the protection of the North Atlantic salmon, we can ensure the sustainability of Canada’s aquatic ecosystem and preserve its cultural and economic significance. Demand action immediately. Demand action now.
