Options for a Made-In-BC Wild Salmon Strategy

This document is the first phase of the Wild Salmon Advisory Council's (WSAC) work. This report presents the Council members’ first and high-level consideration of what might be initiated or supported by the Province in three key subject areas: (a) wild salmon protection, restoration and enhancement – actions that could help ensure a healthy resource into the future; (b) community stewardship, governance and sustainable management – actions that could increase citizen engagement with salmon at the local level and encourage their active participation to inform fisheries issues; and (c) economic opportunities that may help realize greater wellbeing and prosperity from BC’s fisheries resources for harvesters, vessel owner-operators, fishing communities and Indigenous Peoples.
