TORONTO A dispute is brewing between a foreign-owned aquaculture company and local conservationists and tour operators off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia over plans to dump pesticides in the water. Cermaq, a Japanese-owned company that operates a salmon farm near Tofino, B.C., is seeking approval to dump nearly one million litres of pesticide in Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve waters. The pesticide contains hydrogen peroxide, and Cermaq wants to use it to get rid of sea lice that affect farmed salmon. The company already had a three-year permit to dump pesticides in the water, but is looking to renew the permit as it is set to expire this year.
