One night only – Patagonia’s Artifishal screening at the University of Victoria
Artifishal examines the harmful effects hatcheries and fish farms have on wild salmon populations, and as a result how ecosystems and our way of life is affected as a whole.
Join us on Tuesday, August 27, at 7:00 pm for a film screening of Patagonia’s documentary, Artifishal, at the University of Victoria’s Cinecenta theatre located in the Student Union Building.
Artifishal examines the harmful effects hatcheries and fish farms have on wild salmon populations, and as a result how ecosystems and our way of life is affected as a whole. We are working to secure a future for wild salmon and the coastal environment we share with them.
Following the film there will be a Q&A session with Aaron Hill, Executive Director of Watershed Watch Salmon Society, and Misty MacDuffee, Raincoast’s Wild Salmon Program Director.
Aaron is an ecologist specializing in freshwater and coastal ecosystems, focusing mostly on salmon habitat and fisheries. Currently, he is working on implementing Wild Salmon Policy and ecological sustainability in BC energy development.
Misty has been working on salmon and killer whale conservation as a biologist for more than 15 years. In addition to her scientific research, Misty participates in various processes with government and industry on wild salmon management and Southern Resident killer whale conservation.

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.
We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
