Small boat commercial fishermen collaborating with family farmers at Farm Aid 2023 in Noblesville, Indiana, have called for a global boycott of genetically engineered salmon.
“The development and commercialization of GE salmon threatens entire ecosystems that depend on wild salmon,” said Carl Wassilie, a Yup’ik biologist from Anchorage, Alaska, and organizer with the Block Corporate Salmon campaign, which is collaborating with the North American Marine Alliance (NAMA) in calling for the global boycott. The commercialization of GE salmon “is also a flagrant affront to our way of life and wellbeing."
