Every year, millions of British Columbia’s wild salmon are killed in commercial fisheries in Alaska.

 

Fisheries in Alaska are scooping up Canadian salmon before they reach their home rivers to spawn. Meanwhile, B.C.'s salmon and steelhead have hit record lows. Bears and other wildlife are going hungry and B.C. fisheries are closed. First Nations are not meeting their food needs, commercial fishers are out of work and hard-working B.C. families can no longer catch a salmon to bring home for dinner. 

The solution is easy—Alaska needs to move its dirty interception fisheries away from areas where B.C. salmon are returning to spawn, to inside waters where Alaskans can still catch their own fish.

Give our wild salmon a chance. Stop the Alaskan plunder.

“Our salmon can’t wait. We need to take a hard stand with Alaska, telling them large mixed-stock interception fisheries are a relic of the past, and must be eliminated.”   — Misty McDuffee, Raincoast Conservation Foundation
