Hilldale Rd. Port Orchard Activists and concerned citizens with access to a sea kayak or other marine vessel are invited to join Project SeaWolf for a DAY of ACTION to protect the spread of net pens in the Puget Sound. This is a crucial time to join with other citizens to draw attention to one of the greatest emerging threats to salmon, orca whales, and other wildlife in the Pacific Northwest Cooke Aquaculture, an Atlantic salmon net pen conglomerate, is threatening the health of Puget Sound with their plans to further transform it into an epicenter of Atlantic salmon net pen production. It’s time we stand up for our future by stopping the expansion of destructive Atlantic salmon net pens in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If you can join them, please contact/RSVP with our Marine Operations Coordination Center at info@projectseawolf.org (tell them your name, number of paddlers, and what kinds or kayaks/boats you will be bringing), or by phone at (425) 879-4676. Please visit www.oursound-oursalmon.org/#home to download an information and safety sheet, and TELL YOUR FRIENDS! This is a chance for us to make a profound statement of opposition to ‘pharmed Atlantic salmon pens’, and to let our legislators know that we want the Puget Sound protected! www.wildfishconservancy.org See more details •	17
