Time to celebrate! Our voice is being heard around the world.

Morten Most a journalist with the largest daily business paper in Norway contacted me through our website, wanting to do an article on First Nations opposition to Panfish's plans to put fishfarms into our northcoast area. I contacted Friends of Wild Salmon and our two organizations worked together to help him make arrangements and set up contacts. His article appeared in their weekend feature edition. Morten Most mentioned that Panfish is in his paper almost daily and I think it must have taken a great deal of integrity to write an article exposing an aspect of Panfish's business which I am sure John Fredriksen (one of the most powerful people in Norway) would rather have left unknown to the Norwegian business people.

April 8th,2006 the Leading Norwegian Business Paper featured the fight to save the Skeena from fishfarms in a 5 page spread!
