Fishery Notice

The Herring Industry Advisory Board (HIAB) provides representation to the 
department's Integrated Herring Harvest Planning Committee (IHHPC) and provides 
formal advice and makes recommendations to the Department on policy and 
operational decisions related to commercial herring fishery planning in the 
Pacific Region.

The terms of the elected seine and gillnet HIAB representatives from 2014 have 
expired. There will be an election held this summer for 5 elected seine 
representatives and 5 elected gill net representatives for HIAB in a two stage 
process. The first stage involves nomination of candidates. One nomination may 
be made for each licence eligibility. Holders of more than one licence 
eligibility may submit nominations for each licence eligibility that they hold.

The nominee does not have to be a roe herring licence eligibility holder. The 
nominee must agree to be a representative. A licence eligibility holder may 
nominate themselves by submitting their own name. Only one nomination may be 
made per form. Forms nominating more than one individual will be deemed 
invalid. Nomination forms must be signed by the nominator (i.e. the licence 
eligibility holder).
