Emily Taylor

I am a Biology Technician at Creative Salmon in Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation territory in Tofino. Creative farms are Pacific species of salmon — Chinook — and is Canada’s first certified organic salmon farm. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Dalhousie University, and since joining Creative Salmon in Spring 2024, I’ve been involved in environmental monitoring, fish health assessments, and supporting our team’s commitment to sustainable and organic aquaculture practices. I grew up close to the ocean and have always felt a deep connection to marine life and coastal ecosystems. That lifelong connection has shaped my passion for sustainable aquaculture and the need to balance food production with environmental responsibility. Outside of work, I enjoy surfing and diving — two hobbies that help me stay connected to the waters I care so much about in both my personal and professional life.
