Pretty simple rules, yet why the change?
Is every group going to have their opinions dealt separately from the SFAB?
Where is the recommendations from the BCWF, BC Fly Fishers, Nanaimo Rod and Gun, Kitimat Rod and Gun, Bob Hooton , SFI .etc?
Not just picking on the WCGA, but on the reason they were separated from the SFAB.
Will this require a different system from the SFAB to deal with DFO?
Is the SFAB not considered the voice of the sports fishing group?
The Department is seeking feedback from First Nations and established advisory groups on potential adjustments to 2019 managementmeasures or alternative approaches that should be considered for the period June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. Feedback is requested in writing, before March 27, 2020 to the DFO Pacific Region Salmon Management Team at:
DFO.PacificSalmonRMT-EGRSaumonduPacifique.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.
The Department will refer any feedback from stakeholders outside the established advisory process to the appropriate advisory body, including Sport Fishing Advisory Board (SFAB), Commercial Salmon Advisory Board (CSAB), Marine Conservation Caucus (MCC), contact for further consideration. Feedback received from First Nations and established advisory groups, will be summarized by the Department and any recommendations on harvest planning will be provided to First Nations and the Departments advisory committees, for further consideration.[/QUOTE
