Wading through the Victoria Times-Colonist this morning I discover in Judith Lavoie's column that Star Trek's Captain Kirk, William Shatner, has put in on the issue of salmon runs off Vancouver Island.
Mr. Shatner has written a letter to our beloved Prime Minister asking that salmon farms be removed from critical salmon migration routes off the island. In a letter cc'd to the next Prime Minister, Mikey I, and B. C. Premier Gordon Campbell, Mr. Shatner states that the problem with farmed salmon is that they have sea lice and that can lead to problems for the entire run, farmed and wild salmon both.
An episode of his current TV series, Boston Legal, shot in the Broughton Archipelago, dealt with that very issue.
