ATTENTION All PRINCE RUPERT FISHERMAN PLEASE SHARE
I am working with the DFO to try and implement a scale sampling program to gain access to more information on salmon in the Prince Rupert/North coast area.
If you are a guide or someone who just loves to fish and wants to help, please send your name, phone number and email address to 1-250-589-7877 or Bryce_mclaren@hotmail.com
Objective
Avid Anglers data and local expert knowledge will be incorporated into Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) science to improve the understanding of salmon and other fish stocks. This will be accomplished by:
1. Avid Anglers undertake to document and report their fishing trips, including basic fishery and catch encounter information as well as associated ecological and environmental conditions.
2. Avid Anglers will also collect and forward to DFO the biological and environmental information as they are requested and able to. The current focus is DNA tissue sampling from Chinook and Coho along with any environmental, ecological, and mammal encounter data.
3. DFO will openly share and discuss results and conclusions with the Avid Anglers prior to use in management decision making.
4. DFO will hold an annual workshop to discuss with Avid Anglers the findings and conclusions of DFO science so that expert opinion and local ecological knowledge can be integrated into interpretation and analysis of environmental and fishery information.
The last piece of information is copy and pasted off of the Avid Anglers program on the South Coast which I am hoping we get a lot of our information from, as they have been at it for along time!
Once again if you are willing to help or at least hear about the program, please send name, phone number and email to 1-250-589-7877 or Bryce_mclaren@hotmail.com
Please take a minute and share this post so we can get this out to as many participants as we can!
Thank you,
Bryce Mclaren
