DFO has posted several “consultations” with respect to designating certain salmon populations as species at risk, in which you may have an interest. Any one of these that wanders the Strait of Juan de Fuca or the Salish Sea, once designated as a species at risk, is bound to impact our already curtailed salmon fisheries on Vancouver Island

You are encouraged to review the relevant “Open” Pacific aquatic species consultations and provide any remarks to DFO where allowed. Filter by “salmon” to narrow down the choices. The two open consultations most relevant to the Vancouver Island chinook fishery are listed below:

• Chinook Salmon: Designatable Unit 3 (Lower Fraser, Stream, Spring [Birkenhead] Population) – Consultations on listing under the Species at Risk Act
• Chinook Salmon: Designatable Unit 21 (East Coast Vancouver Island, Ocean, Fall Population) – Consultations on listing under the Species at Risk Act
