The Missing Salmon Alliance welcomes the recent announcement from the Soil Association to withdraw from setting standards for organic salmon.
Set against the backdrop of the recent outcome of SEPA’s proposed extended regulatory framework for managing sea lice and protecting wild salmon – whereby proposed environmental permit variations to improve protections were dismissed – and recognising the growing sense of unease that accompanies fish farming, the Missing Salmon Alliance hopes that this will be a watershed moment for the salmon farming industry, consumers, retailers and most critically for wild Atlantic salmon.
