Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation leader Isaiah Robinson responds in an open letter to the Canadian government and activists against open-net aquaculture in British Columbia.

What this amount misses, pro-aquaculture First Nations noted, is the social cost the ban will have on coastal Nations that host salmon farms in their traditional territories.
