SUMMARY:Deadline to take action to call on the federal government to make good on its promise to protect the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund (BCSRIF)
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund (BCSRIF) has been the catalyst for 170 projects to safeguard and recover Pacific salmon in coastal BC. Several projects funded by BC SRIF have been recognized by UNESCO as major contributors to the UN Ocean Decade\, highlighting their importance to global marine health. The fund has supported over 3\,500 jobs across urban and rural BC\, and provided training for 2\,700 people.  \n\n\n\nIt’s set to expire at the end of March. However\, Prime Minister Mark Carney committed to renewing and increasing funding for it in his 2025 election platform. \n\n\n\nIts expiration would impact ongoing work across BC to restore salmon habitat and stall innovative research into how we can modernize our approach to monitoring salmon populations.  \n\n\n\nLearn more and take action
