of reference points and allowable exploitation rate caps for southern Canadian 
Coho management units (MUs) within the bilateral framework of the Pacific 
Salmon Treaty (PST).

Webinars will be held on April 11 and 24, 2018.  These webinars will provide an 
overview of the Discussion Document, an opportunity for questions and brief 
discussion to help support participants feedback on the core question: Do you 
think the current maximum allowable bilateral exploitation rate under the 
Pacific Salmon Treaty Southern Coho Management Plan be maintained, reduced or 
increased?  A questionnaire is included in the Discussion Document and may be 
returned directly to Department. Please send all completed questionnaires to
