Fishery Notice

This notice provides an update on the Fraser Chinook fisheries management 
measures that will be in place beginning April 1, 2020 until further notice. 

To address conservation concerns for at-risk Fraser River Chinook stocks, DFO 
is continuing precautionary reductions in commercial, recreational and First 
Nation's fisheries to support conservation of Fraser Chinook. Given the early 
run timing of some Fraser Chinook populations, the Department is implementing 
management measures that were implemented for the 2019 season on an interim 
basis beginning April 1st, 2020.  These measures will be in place on an interim 
basis to provide time for a technical review of the 2019 fishery management 
measures and completion of consultations on possible adjustments to these 
management measures for the remainder of the fishery. The Department is meeting 
with First Nations and established advisory groups during consultations in 
March and April to discuss potential adjustments to management measures. 
Interim management measures beginning April 1st, 2020, will be in effect until 
further notice.  A future announcement on possible revised management actions 
is anticipated in June 2020.

Further information on specific management actions will be communicated by 
separate Fishery Notices. You can view or subscribe to fisheries notices
