The Port Alberni Sport Fishing Advisory Committee, the Hupacasath and Tseshaht 
First Nations, Area B Seine fleet, Area D Gillnet fleet, and DFO have agreed 
this year again to implement a limited area  experimental fishery in a small 
portion of the Somass River, near Somass Park.  The goal of this fishery is to 
determine the long-term feasibility of future small-scale non-tidal sockeye 
retention fisheries in years of high abundance.
