ACT1 Alexandra Morton ~ A Woman Who Walks The Talk
I have known about Alexandra Morton for many years, she first spoke out that the decline in Killer Whales on the west coast of Canada was related to human behaviour. As a biologist studying the whales for a long time, she not only researched what was happening and why, she truly cared about the whales and became their voice. I remember thinking at the time, what a cool job that would be and I admired her from a distance.
Fast forward twenty years, and her whale research led her to the declining salmon population, which led her to her findings of today that open-net fish farming is a breeding ground for tiny lice which have the power to kill off our wild salmon population. I know that if these lice were a good thing she would be the first to start fostering their growth.
She's my hero because she is trying to make change for the good happen and does so with a passion and conviction that is inspiring.
It shames me that we have allowed foreign business to dictate our government, angers me that things can change by simply standing up and saying no but they aren't. No, you aren't allowed to put open-net fish farms near the salmon migration routes, Norway or anyone else. No, you can't put them in the zones we have designated out-of-bounds. No, you can't continue to do your business here the way you always have, isn't it enough that the lice have taken over your waters?
This is not even talking about the issue Alex ran into with the confusion between federal and local government trying to decide who exactly should be saying no. This is about the people taking a stance and standing up for our country. We all need to say no.
To be clear, Alex is only wanting the open-net fish farm industry to get out of the waters and on to land. To change the way they do things, to keep up with the times the same way people have with smoking. Who would have thought one little conversation in an elevator could change the western world with their smoking habits. Who would have thought one little walk could force my government to protect not just our salmon but our waters. Alex does and so should you. If you can't walk with her, be with her and sign the petition wherever you are. www.salmonaresacred.org
