fair for all concerned, to pre-

The Department’s tough, fair new
program combines intensive conserva-

affect all groups who catch chinook:
sport and commercial fishermen as
well as native fishermen.

will be required to buy special conserva-

the intense enhancement program.

Reduced sport fishing limits: Sport
fishermen in Georgia Strait will be per-
mitted to catch a maximum eight chinook
in 1988. (Outside the Strait, the annual
lizait will remain at 30.)

Further, the Department is consulting
with the sport fishing community on
other measures required to protect stocks,
such as restricting devices and techniques
that catch chinook with such precision
that the “sport” is diminished.

Increased Closures: The areas
and spans of time of spot closures will
be extended to protect chinook
in the lower Straif returning to home
spawning grounds.

Commercial and Native fisheries
restnictions; Both of these sectors will
share in the conservation program. Catch
cutbacks are being determined in
consultation with commercial and native
fisheries representatives.

Together we can
restore the Guif chinook
by 1998.

’ These special enhancement initiatives
are aimed at increasing stocks of Strait
of Georgia chinook by approximately
75,000 to 175,000 adult fish. The increase
will be evident by 1990, and will reach
the full level by 1995.

With the cooperation of all groups of
fishermen, in just a few years the con-
servation and enhancement program will
result in many more chinook for every-
one to catch.
