The Pristine Coast background

The Pristine Coast

The marine ecosystem of British Columbia has collapsed, mirroring a larger trend of declining wild fish populations from California to Alaska, which began in the late 1970s, coinciding with the rapid growth of open net fish farming during the same period.

In a shocking turn of events, British Columbia's marine ecosystem has collapsed, and wild fish populations from California to Alaska have been plummeting since the late 1970s. As the open net fish farm industry took off during the same period, a dedicated activist, Alexandra Morton, discovered that diseases from fish farms were devastating wild salmon populations. The documentary exposes the alarming link between the decline of many fish species on Canada's coast and the spread of diseases from fish farms, highlighting the far-reaching global implications of this marine fish biomass loss.
