Below is a link to another proposed change to a large RCA north of Winter Harbor.
DFO seems to be looking to include one of the only productive Salmon fishing areas left North of the Quatsino light as part of their systematic dismantling of the the BC public tidal fishery.
For what its worth there is a survey in the link for you to leave your comments.

"The area you are considering adding to the existing RCA is an important public salmon fishing area for the Winter harbor area and is virtually the only productive area north of the Quatsino light house.
This change if implemented will be yet another nail in the coffin of the BC public tidal fishery and will greatly affect businesses in this area already devastated by the recent offshore closures."
