An allocation policy for Pacific salmon : a new direction : the fourth in a series of papers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. : Fs144-44/1999E-PDF

"The purpose of this paper is to outline a long-term salmon allocation policy. Specifically, this paper presents a series of principles for sharing harvestable surpluses of Pacific salmon among First Nations, recreational and commercial users. ... The salmon allocation policy set out in this paper will apply within the context of First Nations food, social and ceremonial requirements and treaty obligations to First Nations, as well as Canada's international obligations. Information is presented in Section 2 on the current circumstances that are influencing Pacific salmon fisheries. Section 3 provides an overview of recent consultations on salmon allocation and independent advice provided. Section 4 describes the salmon allocation policy and incorporates guidelines to clarify these principles where appropriate. Section 5 describes the proposed role of a salmon allocation board."--Introd., p. 1.
