I live in this area.  The Broughton has lost diversity since these fish lots were installed thirty years ago. Listening to the fish lot companies bleat about how they can’t afford to take their vile business out of the water has become tiresome. There is a perfectly situated place not far from Port McNeill. They have already entered into a business arrangement with the Namgis to set up a land based farm. It needs to increase in size to become viable, the economies of scale rule in today’s business world. 
They have spent millions down the road at Big Tree Hatchery. If they really want to work with First Nations, the road is already cut.  Now they have to walk it.
