Re: Future of salmon sports fishery in Juan de Fuca
So.........40 concerned folk showed up at a salmon meeting in Pt Alberni............40
The council was appointed in June by Premier John Horgan to develop strategy for restoring and sustaining wild salmon.
“The premier essentially said, ‘Grow more fish,’” said Nanaimo MLA Doug Routley, inviting input from about 40 people at Echo Centre Thursday night (Dec. 6). “It is the foundational species in our province.”
One of their proposals is to reinstate a B.C. government ministry dedicated to anadromous fish species, a portfolio that was scrapped by the Campbell Liberal government shortly after it came to power, he said. The council endorses Bill C-68 — a modernization of the Fisheries Act expected to pass into law before year’s end
