Summary:
(The attached document was provided to the commission at the Lillooet public forum as part of the submission by Chief Larry Casper of the Seton Lake Indian Band.)

The sustainability of Fraser River sockeye requires a true partnership between DFO and First Nations. The commission should recommend that municipalities be prevented from dumping sewage into the Fraser River, that the herring plug fishing method be prohibited, that data about the impact of fish farms on wild stocks be released, and that additional enhancement work be carried out to mitigate de-watering of salmon spawning areas.
