We need to send a loud and clear message to let the Government know that British Columbia’s public fishery matters. Our public fishing contributes over a billion dollars to our economy and employs a lot more people that 1800 lets help make our voice heard!

PUBLIC FISHERY ALLIANCE INFORMATION RALLY This is a call to action! On Monday, July 6th from 12:00pm-1:30pm join us in a peaceful information rally at the down...town DFO office located at 401 Burrard Street in Vancouver. We are rallying together because 1. Closing the public chinook fishery is not a recovery plan! If the Government of Canada and DFO were truly concerned about pacific wild salmon, DFO would have already implemented a detailed recovery plan for certain stocks of endangered Fraser River chinook salmon. DFO has known of these stocks of concern for more than 15 years but have made little if any investment in their recovery, instead placing that burden on public fisheries. Restricting and closing public access to chinook is NOT a recovery plan. 2. All chinook currently raised in hatcheries MUST be adipose clipped! At this time only 10% of hatchery chinook are marked (marked means anglers can identify hatchery fish because the adipose fin has been removed prior to release from the hatchery). We are asking that all chinook currently raised in hatcheries be adipose clipped. The precedent for using adipose clipped salmon for part of a broad-based recovery plan has been established, as the public can currently retain adipose clipped coho salmon. This allows selective retention of hatchery coho while releasing wild fish to protect stocks of concern where necessary. This strategy should be applied to hatchery chinook salmon as well! Adipose clipping hatchery reared chinook for retention allows significantly more wild chinook to return to their rivers to spawn because they can be released if encountered in the public fishery. This management approach can accelerate the recovery of chinook stocks of concern while sustaining important public fisheries up and down the coast of British Columbia. Please join us in our rally to support a recovery plan for chinook stocks of concern and the mass marking of all chinook salmon! Date: Monday, July 6th Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm Location: 401 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC (on the corner of Burrard and W Hastings) PFA Information Rally Code of Conduct & Covid Protocol Participants will remain respectful of the general public as well as public/private property.

Barely into the summer fishing season and it is becoming clear that 2020 will be a productive and active one despite the slow start and impacts to travel restri...ctions from the Covid pandemic. Now that BC’s Restart Phase 3 has been implemented and British Columbians can move around the Province more freely there is opportunity to enjoy a fishing experience in virtually every corner of BC. Fishing reports from the northern coast to Victoria show excellent fishing can be expected this summer. While it is clear that there are significant concerns regarding specific Chinook stocks on the Fraser River that require restrictions and specific strategies for avoidance of those salmon, there are many other healthy and more abundant stocks and species that can be harvested by anglers this season. It is important to note that there are many more Chinook producing rivers in BC than those found on the Fraser River, and many of those are enjoying high to record returns. And, of course, there is much more to the story than Chinook. Coho, Pink, Sockeye and Chum salmon all provide great opportunity on our coast and river systems along with countless opportunities to harvest cod, halibut, and shellfish. Anglers in BC account for approximately 25% of salmon harvested and 15% of halibut, yet contribute 39% of revenues from all fisheries, including aquaculture, to BC’s economy. The related tourism and local travel activity in this Province is significant, and contributes $1.1 billion in revenues. The impacts that all have faced in times of Covid have been especially challenging for fishing tourism businesses, small coastal communities and the loss of many of the 9000 direct jobs that would ordinarily welcome guests that come to enjoy the unrivalled fishing experiences of which our Province is justifiably famous. The previous details are noted to provide a broader view and perspective of fish and fisheries on the BC coast than was included in DFO’s June 19th DFO announcements regarding Chinook stocks of concern on the Fraser River. It is understood that DFO must address the underlying issues faced by Fraser River Chinook stocks of concern if there is to be any hope of long-term recovery. But, when DFO announced long awaited fishery management measures to address the concerns and low numbers it was hoped that details would also include a comprehensive, ecosystem-based approach to recovery. This was not delivered, and instead the announcements were limited to severe fishery restrictions around Vancouver, failing to implement sustainable, low or no risk options that would have allowed Chinook retention, and only a description of the challenges faced by the stocks of concern. This has left the impression that Chinook are in trouble everywhere on our coast, and that fishing for them is closed. This is just not true. Fishery management alone has historically proven ineffective as a recovery tool. It is acknowledged by fishery managers and biologists that the implementation of fishing restrictions alone will not recover the stocks of concern. Fishing pressure and harvest is not the driving force behind the decline in abundance, rather it is the productive capacity of both freshwater and marine environments. A comprehensive recovery program that also addresses habitat, in-river environmental issues, enhancement work, illegal fishing practices and known impacts of predators is required. In fact, all sectors with an interest in salmon agree that there are serious and urgent problems for Fraser River stocks of concern that must be addressed. Fisheries management alone is not a solution but a band-aid on a bullet hole and must be combined with actions that address the cause of the problems. Utilization of existing hatchery production should be an important component of a recovery plan for Fraser River Chinook, and to provide an important and reliable harvest opportunity for all sectors. Currently, BC produces about 40 million hatchery Chinook annually, of which only 10% are marked, or fin clipped so they can easily be identified and separated from the unmarked stocks of concern. In Washington State, 100% of hatchery fish are marked. The effect of 100% marking makes it absolutely clear which are wild fish and which are bred for harvest. BC moving to 100%-mark rates will allow all harvest groups to protect and avoid wild fish, and mass marking also serves a similar purpose on or near the spawning grounds to aid in maintenance of genetic integrity of wild stocks. Meanwhile, in areas where hatchery fish are known to be prevalent, harvest can occur in mark selective fisheries (MSF). These MSF fisheries take place annually in Washington State and have been an important and successful part of BC’s public Coho fishery for nearly 20 years. If we accept that fishing and fisheries are an important part of our culture, traditions, food security and coastal economy, then we need look no further than our southern and northern US neighbors to identify and implement a strategy that works in achieving a balance between conservation and socioeconomic goals. While anglers have a tendency to tell fishing stories, those coming in so far this season happen to be true. We are seeing Chinook and Coho fishing in areas like Campbell River, Sooke, Port Hardy, the North Coast and on the West coast of Vancouver Island similar to what was seen last year. And, last year was remembered as one of the most productive in many years. Following the difficult and reduced opportunity due to the Covid lockdown, we are pleased to see that guides are now being booked, tackle sales are brisk, and the fishing is excellent.
