Conservation Means More Fish for Canada’s Future:

An lnportant Message from the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans

In British Columbia, Pacific salmon reached a turning point last year. With some stocks at risk of extinction, it was time to put the fish first.

Last June, I announced conservation measures that changed the way we manage the salmon, and the way we fish. That plan followed extensive consultations plus the advice of Fisheries and Oceans biologists and local staff with wide experience in BC.

I know the changes have not been easy for people in the Aboriginal, commercial and recreational fisheries. That's why the Government of Canada launched a five-year, $400 million program to restore salmon habitat, reduce the commercial fleet, provide people with employment assistance and help communities diversify their economies.

The good news is that conservation means more fish for Canada’s future. Already, some salmon stocks are returning to BC spawning grounds in greater numbers. Still, rebuilding will take years, and 1999 will be another challenging year.

of Salmon face a complex set of problems; some are within human control while 24,928 as others are not. Cooperation with the United States is a crucial issue that we ‘ can address. As we have done in our own waters, we must also put fish first in the Canada-US Pacific Salmon Treaty.

Last year, we reached interim agreements on conservation and catch shares for fisheries along our southern boundary. The result was a 75 percent reduction of Washington State's harvest of our threatened Thompson River coho. Unfortunately, there was no agreement with Alaska in 1998.

Since last year, experts from both countries have been working to reconcile

differences over science, management and conservation. Neither the patience _ of Canadians nor the health of the resource will support the status quo.

With political will from all sides, we can build on the progress of last year.

In this year’s Pacific Salmon Treaty negotiations, Canada will be pressing hard for a long-term, coast-wide agreement that moves fish to Canada, and conserves all stocks by improving Canada-US cooperation. Taking action now will help bring greater certainty and security to BC fishermen and communities.
