Pictured here is a single public fishers boat parked in the driveway due to the current DFO non-retention. The negative economic and social impacts caused by this closure affect many families and businesses. All of this could be avoided by allowing retention of even just a single hatchery Chinook, fish that were made for retention and fish that should be retained.
- Didn’t buy moorage= $3890 loss for marina
- Didn’t buy fuel and oil for the trips not gone = on approx. $3000
- No morning coffee stop= one less customer for local business
- No service on equipment needed as we aren’t out fishing= loss to marine mechanics
- No tackle purchased at local shops=thousands of dollars lost to local business; just this one boat
- No other marine purchases ie: boat upgrades=loss to marine equipment dealers
- No sustainable crab or prawn dinners was always done while fishing
- Family time on the water now taken away grandpa and grandson aren’t getting to share passion for being on the water fishing
- Family vacation to fishing destination cancelled=loss for that community no money spent on cabin/camping, marina costs and local grocery stores etc.
