Fisheries and Oceans Canada is committed to ensuring conservation is the top priority in the management of Canada's Pacific salmon resource. Together with the people of British Columbia, the Department will achieve the long-term objectives of rebuilding stocks at risk and protection of the resource today and in the future, while at the same time providing opportunities for those that rely on the resource. Through the use of selective gear and methods that meet a conservation standard, harvesters and anglers are gaining access to fisheries that would otherwise be closed.
