Vancouver Sun: William Shatner has boldly gone where no actor has gone before: British Columbia's controversial fish farms. The Canadian-born-and-raised actor has written to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking that salmon farms be removed from crucial wild-salmon migration routes off northern Vancouver Island. Shatner said sea lice from salmon farms are having a disastrous impact on "one of Earth's most precious assets, the wild salmon and steelhead of B.C." A Canadian fisheries spokesman says there's no evidence lice are hurting wild salmon stocks.
