2005: Wild Salmon Policy [SEHAB] Invitation to community
From Salmon Enhancement and Habitat Advisory Board: The trouble with biodiversity… is that it is inert. Go into your local bar, coffee shop or supermarket, or your kitchen. Stop somebody at random - your husband or wife, say - and ask:
The chances are you will receive a blank stare. We have seen this blank stare often, and of late it has been when we have brought up the Wild Salmon Policy yet again. Members of the Salmon Enhancement and Habitat Advisory Board, have completed a thorough review of the WSP and will be sharing their comments and concerns within the SEP community. Copies will be posted on our web site by February 18th. We encourage your participation in reviewing and making direct comment to DFO. This can be done on this page if you are able to view the policy on-line, you can use the search tool to find the specific areas within the document that you have a particular interest in. While there is a list of some 19 questions on this page it would be of benefit if you could assist in giving comment on any of them. On Friday February 25th between 6:30pm and 9:00pm, the Salmon Enhancement and Habitat Advisory Board would like to invite you to a gathering of SEP/Streamkeepers in order to review and comment on portions of the WSP. This new policy will be the foundation for future decision making within the department of Fisheries and Oceans. Meet at the Holiday Inn Follow Highway 1 to Exit 22, just north of the Iron Workers Memorial, 2nd Narrows Bridge. Please bring with you, two statements concerning the policy. One positive and one negative. These comments can be specific or general. Fisheries is conducting a Multi Interest Forum on the WSP, SEHAB will be taking part in this forum and would like to ensure that the message that we take forward is that which the SEP community has specified. For more information please call ZoAnn Morten - Communications Chair SEHAB 604-986-5059. |
