Conservationists slam DFO for chum impacts in commercial fishery

Raincoast's Misty MacDuffee speaks with CFAX

Three BC conservation groups are concerned that 1.37 million pounds of chum salmon have been discarded as by-catch in pink salmon fisheries.  High mortality caused from rushed handling on the decks of seiners means low survival, making the problem of depleted chum stocks even worse.

Support our mobile lab, Tracker!

Our new mobile lab will enable the Healthy Waters Program to deliver capacity, learning, and training to watershed-based communities. We need your support to convert the vehicle and equip it with lab instrumentation. This will allow us to deliver insight into pollutants of concern in local watersheds, and contribute to solution-oriented practices that protect and restore fish habitat.
