Fix FIsheries Management
We will support Canadian harvesters and coastal communities with a real fisheries strategy by:
- Implementing a Made-in-B.C. Owner/Operator Policy to prohibit foreign and corporate ownership of new BC commercial fishing access, grandfathering current cases pending ownership transparency.
- Creating a public registry of quota and license holders.
- Ensuring that fishing is allowed only in accordance with DFO regulations.
- Implementing “marked selective salmon” fisheries for hatchery salmon to protect vulnerable species.
- Investing in fisheries science and Integrated Fisheries Management Plans.
- Balancing ecosystems by managing pinniped predation.
- Maintaining the willing buyer–willing seller model for quota transfers.
- Doubling permanent funding for small craft harbours.
