The Integrated Fisheries Management Plan for Intertidal Clams (IFMP) is a three 
year plan from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 and a draft is now 
available for your review and comment. You may request a copy of the plan by 
contacting the Fishery Manager. The Commercial Harvest Plan, First Nation 
Harvest Plan, Recreational Fishery Harvest plan and the Depuration Harvest Plan 
are components of the IFMP document and are revised annually to address issues 
or changes to the fishery. 

There continues to be a fishery in Area 1 for razor clams that is co-managed 
with the Council of Haida Nation. There is also a commercial fishery in Area 7 
that is co-managed with the Heiltsuk First Nation. These fisheries have their 
own management plans, which are currently under development but is similar to 
previous years.
