Maintain Priority Access to Chinook and Coho for the Canadian Public in a New Salmon Allocation Policy. Send Your Letter to DFO!

[Squire]

I didn’t have much faith in Gord Johns so thank you for sharing this.

He’s still supporting the FNs/Commercial raid of the recreational Chinook and Coho allocation; he’s just trying to deflect any responsibility. He still claimed there is ‘misinformation’ out there and asked the Minister to clarify. It’s not like he was advocating for the recreational fishing sector so I personally still wouldn’t put much faith in him.

Perhaps book an appointment to meet with Gord, and help him understand the fundamental issues implementing a fixed share or quota allocation between commercial and recreational will do to your fishery and all the businesses that depend upon it. It would certainly help Gord to hear and gain a better understanding of the basis behind our community concerns.

That would totally not bring tears to my eyes……. My girls are old enough to write but if they could and I saw that eyes would definitely not be, 100% not be, super wet and tearing up… definitely not.

Hopefully this hasn't been hashed out, but is this 'new'? If so, it seems like an efficient way for DFO to nibble away at the public fishery...there is a corresponding commercial closure as well:
Subject: FN0331-Proposed Homayno Marine Refuge: Recreational Harvest closure - Portions of subareas 13-42 and 13-43 - Closing April 1, 2026

Effective April 1, 2026, select recreational fishing activities are prohibited indefinitely within portions of subareas 13-42 and 13-43 that are within the boundaries of the proposed Homayno Marine Refuge.

Just curious if anybody has an update to what’s going on. Thought I saw a post a few pages back there are some meetings going on.

Its pretty remote area, I would prefer preservation in these areas if it has to be done rather in spaces that are closer to populated areas. It seems that most of the fishing activity there is commercial.
