Patagonia, Fight for the Wild Salmon
To accompany the release of Artifishal–which chiefly focussed on the devastation caused by salmon hatcheries in the US–Patagonia Europe sided with an Icelandic campaign to halt the expansion of Mowi, a Norwegian Salmon farming firm. Iceland remains home to a large stock of native salmon, unlike in the rest of Northern Europe where open-net fish farms in the sea have spread disease and parasites through the ecosystem. I documented the trip out to one of Mowi’s farms on what was a blend of a press-trip with protest.
