The outlook for Coho has been downgraded to "Low Status" compared to "Moderate Status" in the last few years. The fishery management response will be to reduce WCVI wild Coho retention limits to 1/day for inshore waters of the WCVI for the recreational fishery. A fishery notice implementing this change will be forthcoming in the next week or two.
If you have any comments or questions you can email the DFO Stock Assessment, Resource Management, or Salmon Enhancement Program contacts listed in the bulletin.
Just a reminder, the library section of each Area on the Roundtables website is updated weekly through the season with all in-season bulletins. https://www.roundtables.westcoastaquatic.ca/
