Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative

• 

  Conservation and stewardship

• 

  Salmon enhancement

• 

  Harvest transformation
  

• 

  Integration and collaboration

Pacific salmon need our help. In recent years, climate change, habitat loss and fishing pressures have negatively affected Pacific salmon at every stage of their lifecycle. Our Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative will guide a strategic and coordinated long term response to these issues, rooted in collaborative action, to stabilize and restore Pacific salmon and salmon habitat for the people, communities and ecosystems that depend upon their sustainability.

Pillars of the strategy

Our strategy aims to stem the steep decline of many Pacific salmon populations and to protect and rebuild stocks where possible by implementing a series of immediate and long-term solutions that focus on 4 key areas:

• conservation and stewardship
• salmon enhancement
• harvest transformation
• integration and collaboration

Engagement on the Initiative

We can't do this alone. We are engaging on number of actions we're proposing to address Pacific salmon declines by talking with:

• Indigenous and coastal communities
• governments at all levels
• the fishing industry and recreational fishers
• environmental organisations
• scientists and other academics

These engagements will ensure our efforts are focused on the actions that will have the greatest impact.
