This month (Feburary 2025) CAGJ celebrated a huge historic win with representatives of the many organizations who collectively stopped genetically engineered salmon! The company who attempted to manufacture the frankenfish, AquaBounty, is closing its operation. The battle against GE salmon was waged for over three decades – from 1994-2025! We want to honor all of the groups (past and present) that CAGJ is proud to have collaborated with, using a huge diversity of tactics, starting with Friends of the Earth and then inspired by Valerie Segret to stand with Northwest Tribal Fishermen in this struggle.
We honor indigenous leadership in this fight, working with these and other bodies: Muckleshoot Food Sovereignty Project, Muckleshoot Tribe, Alaska Big Village Network, Alaska Inter-Tribal Council and Quinault Indian Nation. In addition we stand with American Antivivisection Society, BlockCorporateSalmon, Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, Center for Food Safety, Center for Water Advocacy, Consumers Reports, Earthjustice, Food and Water Watch, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Living Ocean Society, NAMA, Vigilance OGM, Wild Salmon Nation and Williams County Alliance in Ohio.
