FRASER SALMON

MANAGEMENT COUNCIL

Building a robust fishery for all, forever.

The Fraser Salmon Management Council is a Tier 1 (First Nations only) governance body that successfully concluded a historic agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The Fraser Salmon Management Agreement was ratified by more than 80% of the FSMC’s 78 Signatory Nations, and was signed by Minister Wilkinson & FSMC President Darren Haskell on July 5, 2019 at Katzie First Nation. This Agreement puts First Nations at the decision-making table for the management of Fraser River salmon by stipulating a truly collaborative process and structure.
