The Executive Director of the Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers Association, Pamela Parker, tells Tide News they're giving people the opportunity to check out how salmon farming works through boat tours on Sunday.
She says many people don't realize that salmon is the province's biggest agriculture-based export. Salmon farming employs 3000 people across the region, and almost 20% of Charlotte County's entire workforce.
The tours leave the main wharf in St. Andrews at noon and 2:15pm, weather permitting. Proceeds from the tour go to the Heart and Stroke foundation.
