100% of angling licence revenue to benefit anglers

Hey FT...there is a thread about this in the Freshwater section but could have been in conservation section as well. http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum...of-Angling-Licence-Revenue-to-Benefit-Anglers

This is a Provincial program so is dealt with by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources and applies to Freshwater Fisheries and Licensing only. The money from the Freshwater License is forwarded to the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC to be used to stock and enhance Freshwater Fishing opportunities. Saltwater Licensing falls under Federal jurisdiction and DFO. The money from the Salmon Conservation Stamp program, that you purchase to retain Chinook, is funneled through the Pacific Salmon Foundation to be used for enhancement projects related to the Saltwater Fishery. Two totally separate bodies.
