Norwegian-based Marine Harvest is seeking a new injunction that would prevent the public from coming within 20 metres of its 34 fish farm facilities on B.C.’s coast.
“They are asking for a 20-metre exclusion zone, which would keep out divers and photographers,” said Greg McDade, legal council for biologist and wild salmon advocate Alexandra Morton.
The corporation delivered legal notices earlier this month to Morton and several other parties, including hereditary chief Ernest Alfred who has led the 264-day long protest of the Swanson fish farm in the Broughton Archipelago.
A hearing on the application has been set for Thursday.
