Pacific Region Five Nations multi-species fishery management plan, April 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023 : salmon, groundfish, crab, prawn, gooseneck barnacle, and sea cucumber.: Fs144-61/2022E-PDF

"This Five Nations Multi-Species Fishery Management Plan (2022 FMP) covers the period April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The objective of the FMP is to implement a right-based multi-species sale fishery that accommodates the Five Nations' Aboriginal rights to fish and sell fish. To this end, the FMP outlines the fishing opportunities that DFO intends to provide to the Five Nations for the 2022/23 season to implement their Aboriginal rights and the management regime for that fishery. The 2022 FMP is the fourth Multi-Species FMP developed by DFO since the 2018 Court Order. Version 2 of the 2021 FMP, issued on December 2, 2021, was the first Multi-Species FMP developed following the British Columbia Court of Appeal (BCCA) decision of April 19, 2021, in Ahousaht Indian Band and Nation v. Canada, 2021 BCCA 155 (the "2021 BCCA Decision"), but it only partially implemented it. This FMP addresses most of the remaining issues raised by the BCCA decision, leaving some items left to review as described in Section 2.3. It is DFO's intention to continue to review the FMP and make further changes in-season and amend the FMP if required"--Preamble, page 12.
