Fishery Notice

The B.C. Salmon Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMPs) for 2025/2026 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.

A draft of this document was previously circulated for a 30-day consultation period which ended on April 4, 2025.

DFO manages B.C. 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 2025 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.
