Yesterday's guilty plea by the B.C. Ministry of Forests to charges of damaging fish habitat represents only one violation among potentially hundreds in an out-of-control industry, says the David Suzuki Foundation. "This prosecution should be the first of many by Fisheries and Oceans Canada," says Bill Wareham, acting director of marine conservation with the David Suzuki Foundation. "Destructive logging and disregard for fish habitat continues to be the norm throughout B.C., and DFO must continue to hold the province accountable."
