Update to the Strategic Review of Fisheries Resources for the South Thompson–Shuswap Habitat Management Area

Participants at the 2015 Stewardship Workshop, hosted by FBC and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, offer input to the Strategic Review of Fisheries Resources for the South Thompson-Shuswap Habitat Management Area.

In March 2016 the Fraser Basin Council completed an update of the Strategic Review of Fisheries Resources for the South Thompson–Shuswap Habitat Management Area, a 1997 publication of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

The Strategic Review summarizes fisheries resource information related to:

• four anadromous species of Pacific salmon: Chinook, Sockeye, Coho and Pink
• major land and water uses influencing fisheries production within the habitat management area, and
• watershed management issues and recommendations for all the sub-drainage areas.

Resource managers in all orders of government, as well as stewardship and conservation organizations, have used the Strategic Review to inform decision-making and help prioritize their work. It is hoped the updated version will continue to prove a valuable resource.

For convenience, here are links to both the updated and original versions of the Strategic Review:

• Strategic Review of Fisheries Resources for the South Thompson–Shuswap Habitat Management Area (2016 Update)
• Strategic Review of Fisheries Resources for the South Thompson–Shuswap Habitat Management Area (1997 Version)
