Overview
Starting in 2015, the Commercial Salmon Allocation Framework (CSAF) small working group, comprised of participants from DFO, the Commercial Salmon Advisory Board (CSAB), and the FNFC Salmon Coordinating Committee (SCC), worked collaboratively to develop a draft evaluation framework for reviewing submitted demonstration fishery proposals to DFO. Demonstration fisheries are pilot commercial fisheries that may be implemented to test new gear types, fishing areas, etc. This work continues to implement the draft framework and provides feedback and recommendations on the process.
Through the SCC and CSAF small working group, FNFC supports First Nations to develop proposals for demonstration fisheries. We also support First Nations collaboration and capacity on demonstration fisheries.
