The past summer there were concerns expressed regarding navigation conflicts with the commercial gill net and seine nets during the Port Alberni sockeye fishery. We heard several incidents where the entire canal was blocked by nets making safe navigation almost impossible. Some of the nets are not well marked, and in rough seas are almost impossible to see by approaching boaters.
We are placing this topic on the agenda of the upcoming Area 23 SFAC meeting to gather feedback and determine what steps can be taken to reduce these conflicts and improve safety.
Anyone have observations and ideas on improving safety they wish to share, I will do my best to collect and incorporate into the SFAC discussions.
Thanks in advance for your input.
