    All you need to know from the article. "One year on from the Five Nations ruling, Ray remained concerned about recreation fisheries, which he still believes takes priority over their rights-based fisheries. He said he’s seen between two and three hundred recreation fishers in the area at any...

    Hating on Alaskans?

    Hating on Alaskans is irrelevant, they do what they do and will continue to do so. Top of the food chain and could give two figs about anything to the south of them. So they have finally taken some steps to conserve "their" fish, who cares.

    Aquaculture; improving????

    Given the drastic reduction in fishing pressure one would hope for some sort of uptick in abundance.

    Concerns about herring kills at B.C. fish farms

    Should one band that happens to have an aquaculture operation in their territory, have veto power over the hundreds of other bands up and down the coast that rely on wild runs of salmon?

    Herring stocks rebounding

    Please feel free to show me any evidence over the past 50 years of a closure that DFO enacted that was later taken off the books. Once closed, forever closed, has been my experience.

    Driving an EV pickup

    I am one of those, "Could buy with cash but holy **** the prices are insane" vehicle purchasers. I can keep my old clunkers running for a few more years if need be.

    New Pinniped Study - harbour seals consume 46−59% of juvenile Coho Salmon

    In reading the "study" the words estimated and inferred were used dozens of times. Small sample size from only 4 locations. Not likely to move the needle for any meaningful pinneped management changes.

    Your Salmon Fisheries Are In Peril!- COMPLETE THE DFO SRKW SURVERY BEFORE FEBUARY 12TH

    Yup, this process is now used by all organizations when making decisions. Consult for the sake of consulting and then trot out the tried and true a "look we consulted" response, when called out on their **** poor decision making.

    New Pinniped Study - harbour seals consume 46−59% of juvenile Coho Salmon

    When I was a kid (1980's) sportfishing in front of Nanaimo, seeing a seal was very rare and I don't recall ever seeing a sea lion. Now they are everywhere. Big mammals that have to eat to survive. Would love to see a meaningful cull instead of another news hour story showing the rehabilitation...

    Your Salmon Fisheries Are In Peril!- COMPLETE THE DFO SRKW SURVERY BEFORE FEBUARY 12TH

    This made me laugh. Of course it is about FN. Anybody who is expecting transparency from DFO is delusional.

    Springs Rebound

    Uptick in ocean survival rates. There have always been times when runs have done better than average and worse than average. Is this one of those blips or a trend? Only time will tell.

    Projects examine how rec fishery is affecting salmon.

    True science has a control vs studying ONE variable tested at a time. There are so many simultaneous variables in CnR that you may be able to draw some correlations but saying that it is science based is a stretch at best. Re Hero shots, You have just finished a one mile sprint and you are...

    2024-25 DFO proposal and survey on salmon measures

    Trudeau has worn out his welcome just like Harper did before him. The time for a change is inevitable. For the vast majority of people, what DFO does or doesn't do has zero impact in their life. Expecting a new govt to make major changes to DFO is unrealistic and highly unlikely. Any...
