Important Alerts:

We cannot stress enough how important it is for the public to understand, that “nets in the Skeena” will completely obliterate both “Coho and Steelhead” stocks, and it appears that First Nations. the primary benefactor of net fishing in the Skeena also do not care. History has shown that it will be the “non aboriginals who are to blame, and must pay compensation for the loss they never created.

Both Coho and Steelhead numbers show they are in a state of crisis.
