Wild Salmon Policy
Implementing Canada’s Policy for the Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon
Canada’s new (2005) Policy of the Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon states that “Conservation of wild salmon and their habitat is the highest priority for resource management decision-making.” When it comes to fisheries management, Watershed Watch aims to represent the public interest in the conservation of wild salmon. We do this by informing the public regarding important concerns and developments in fisheries management, and advocating for improvements in how salmon fisheries are managed, through public outreach and official consultation processes with the federal and provincial governments as member of the Pacific Marine Conservation Caucus.
