— First Nations protesters at a salmon farm off the northern coast of Vancouver Island are vowing to stay, despite court action aimed at forcing them out. Marine Harvest Canada, which runs the farm, has asked the B.C. Supreme Court for an injunction to remove protesters from its Midsummer Island farm, located about 50 kilometres east of Port Hardy in the Broughton Archipelago. Spokesman Ian Roberts said the company has delayed its work at the farm in hopes of having discussions with the protesters. The company resorted to court action due to concerns about the safety of both staff and protesters, and about the welfare of the fish, Roberts said.
