The Department has released the 2016/17 draft Northern and Southern BC Salmon 
Integrated Fishery Management Plans (IFMPS) for comment.  

Deadline for submission of comments is April 18th, 2016.

The draft plans set out the policy framework that guides decision making, 
general objectives relating to management of stocks of concern, enhancement and 
enforcement, as well as decision guidelines for a range of fisheries.  

For the 2016/17, the Salmon IFMPs have been updated with a new section (Section 
13 - Species Specific Fishing Plans) that describes fisheries plans for each of 
the salmon species and the management units and major fishery areas for each 
species.  This section includes the relevant information on management 
approach, decision guidelines and specific management measures, as well as, 
information related to First Nations, commercial and recreational fishing plans 
for each fishery.  

During March and April, the Department will be meeting with First Nations and 
recreational, commercial and environmental groups to seek further feedback on 
the draft IFMPs as part of the IFMP consultation process.  

Comments may also be provided in writing via email to your local Area Resource 
Manager(s), or to Kelly Binning, Regional Salmon Officer at 
Kelly.Binning@dfo-mpo.gc.ca.
