Fishery Notice

The BC Salmon Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMPs) for 2016/2017 have 
been released.  These plans (one for coastal and interior waters of the 
Province of British Columbia north of Cape Caution, and one for south of Cape 
Caution including the Fraser River) outline management policies, specific 
management objectives, and decision guidelines for a wide range of fisheries 
and anticipated opportunities for First Nations, recreational and commercial 
fisheries.  These plans were developed through consultation with First Nations 
and stakeholder representatives.

DFO manages BC salmon to meet conservation objectives; to ensure that there are 
sufficient spawners to sustain populations while optimizing the social and 
economic benefits of fisheries for Pacific salmon.  Harvest opportunities will 
be provided where abundance permits. For 2016 salmon fisheries, in-season 
management will also need to consider potential implications of adverse 
environmental conditions on salmon populations.

In-season changes or announcements of specific fishery management measures 
including openings, closures and other relevant information will be provided by 
Fisheries Notices.  You can sign up to receive notices by e-mail or review
