Are You About to Lose Your Right to Fish?

Common Property is the principle that salmon belong to ALL Canadians, and it is the foundation of fishery and resource management.

BC First Nations groups are proposing to have this term and principle dropped from the Salmon Allocation Policy, and DFO is asked to consider this extreme policy change.

Removing the principle of common property would shift public access to fishing from a federal, conservation-based management approach to an optional “privilege” granted by First Nations.

If salmon are no longer acknowledged as a shared public resource to be managed for the benefit of all Canadians, YOUR rights are extinguished.
