However,
that is not the new guidance being imposed on the Fraser Panel. It is my belief that Fisheries
and Oceans Canada has abdicated its management mandate and has ceded that mandate to the
Fraser River Salmon Management Board, whose membership is narrowly limited.
DFO no longer manages to optimize production. In fact, its refusal to allow warranted harvests
could negatively affect potential production in some specific systems in the Fraser where
strategic population control is absolutely necessary to optimize production.
I resigned from the Fraser Panel because I could not support this new direction in management.

Reallocated to FN

As expected
 
Americans going full out now on pinks and we’re sitting on our hands.

The Fraser River Panel met Tuesday, August 26 to receive an update on the migration of


Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon and review the status of migration conditions in the Fraser


River watershed.


It is currently estimated that 6,940,900 sockeye and 1,356,800 pink salmon have passed the


Mission hydroacoustics site. The Panel adopted a run size of 12,500,000 for Fraser River pink


salmon with an associated Area 20 timing of August 13.


On August 25, the discharge of the Fraser River at Hope was 2,310 cms, which is


approximately 15% below the average for this date. The temperature of the Fraser River at Qualark


on August 25 was 18.8°C which is 1.1°C above the average for this date. Fraser River discharge


levels, water temperatures and migration conditions in the Chilcotin River will be monitored


closely to determine if specific management actions are required during the in-river migratory


period to help achieve sockeye escapement goals.

Here’s the numbers. Approximately 700,000 summers available according to DFO data but any % of late’s being caught is unacceptable. Even though it’s been upgraded from 400,000 to 1,000,000.

Not that I'm one bit surprised as we seen the writing on the wall over the last decade. However loosing guys who have been in the seat and doing what's right will only make things worse. Can't just let them have it with no blow back. We need a whistle blower
