The Salmon People podcast: The Gold Rush
EPISODE 2: If you take a boat along the coast of northern British Columbia, you’ll see towering deciduous trees and snow-capped peaks, small islands, big islands and scattered throughout it all … fish farms. Dozens of them. Alexandra Morton remembers their arrival — remembers the Gold Rush when anyone who wanted a fish farm license got one. And she remembers how the government tricked coastal people into pointing out the best wild salmon habitat. The Salmon People podcast is a co-production between award-winning journalist Sandra Bartlett and Canada\’s National Observer.
