What is the Pacific Salmon Commission?

Sockeye

The Pacific Salmon Commission's goals are conservation, management and optimum production of Pacific Salmon. This body implements the Pacific Salmon Treaty, struck in 1985 by the US and Canada. The Treaty is a means for both countries to achieve long-term goals for the benefit of Pacific Salmon stocks that pass through Canadian waters bound for US rivers and vice versa. The Commission is composed of delegates appointed by the Canadian and US governments and represents the interests of commercial and recreational fisheries, environmental organizations, Canadian First Nations and federal, provincial, state, and U.S. tribal governments. One function of the body is to provide regulatory advice and recommendations to both countries regarding the management of Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon. Pre-season and in-season snapshots are offered in the form of news releases and regulatory announcements. See PSC's website for the most up to date announcements about the Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon fisheries.
