COMMENTS: Brokaw hangs out in BC
NBC Nightly News former anchor Tom Brokaw continues his role as an occasional feature reporter (playlist here) for his onetime newscast. He extended his stay in British Columbia after covering the Vancouver Winter Olympics to worry about the depletion of its sockeye salmon fishery for NBC's Our Planet series. Brokaw ticked off climate change, overfishing and industrialization as factors in the sockeye shortage before pointing an accusing finger at fish farms. The farms are a breeding ground for sea lice, which then spread to salmon in the wild. Consumers are organizing boycotts of farm-raised fish and some ecofriendly fish farmers are switching to freshwater facilities.
