The application for judicial review into the decision not to renew licences was launched by the Wei Wai Kum and We Wai Kai nations in the areas of Quadra Island and Campbell River, as well as salmon farm operators including Grieg Seafood.

VANCOUVER — A federal Court has rejected a bid by two First Nations and salmon farm operators to review Ottawa's decision to not renew licences for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms in the waters off British Columbia.

Favel also says the federal decision, which cited the uncertain risks posed by fish farms to wild salmon, was "reasonable." Court documents say the First Nations made the application with concerns about the federal minister's duty to consult, while salmon farm operators applied to review procedural fairness in Murray's decision.

“She took the trouble to learn about the science that her department officials have been suppressing or ignoring and made the right call," said Wild First campaign chairman Tony Allard. "We are indebted to her for taking decisive action to protect wild salmon.”
