Steelhead Committee

A steelhead plan for BC has been initiated by Living Rivers and is composed of the following;

1. Improved stock assessment

2. Public support

3. Reduced interceptions

4. Proactive protection and restoration of key steelhead habitats.

5. Building partnerships to raise resources

6. Conservation fish culture

7. Additional enhanced production

8. Angling education & promotion

9. Science in marine ecosystems

10. Independent scientific evaluation of steelhead fish culture in B.C.

By all accounts steelhead in the Province are in decline and it will take much effort and resources to improve the situation.
