Chilean locals push to protect oceans damaged by salmon farming

Original: In southern Chile, locals push to protect oceans that have been hurt by intensive salmon farming

Communities in southern Chile are campaigning to protect coastal waters degraded by intensive salmon farming. The industry, one of the world's largest producers, has been linked to pollution, antibiotic use and harm to marine ecosystems in the region's fjords. Locals are calling for stronger environmental safeguards and restrictions on farming operations, drawing attention to the tension between a key export sector and ocean health.

Why now: New coverage of local campaigns against the environmental damage caused by Chile's salmon industry has put the issue back in the spotlight.
