Context of the Co-Management Working Group

In 2009, the B.C. First Nations Fisheries Council (the “FNFC”) received resources through the DFO PICFI program to support capacity at a B.C. wide scale to explore the notion of co-management in relation to B.C. First Nations and marine resources.  In late 2009, the FNFC hired three staff members to work with B.C. First Nations to develop a grass roots approach to look at what potential factors, methods, and mechanisms B.C. First Nations see as important in moving forward with potential co-management arrangements with the DFO.

The intent of the FNFC role is to facilitate discussions among B.C. First Nations in order to support a grass-roots approach to co-management discussions.  Co-Management will be the theme of the FNFC’s 2010 Fisheries Assembly being held in Prince Rupert in November 2010.

The FNFC also intends to support collaborative work with DFO in order to move forward on this issue.  To support this work on a B.C.-wide scale a Co-Management Working Group (CMWG) and workplan are being developed.  This workplan will support First Nations communities around B.C. to participate fully in co-management discussions, including  B.C.-wide meetings or assemblies focussed on the issue of co-management.
