Summary:
(The attached document was provided to the commission at the Prince George public forum as part of the submission by the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance.)

The attached letter from the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance (UFFCA) to Paul Sprout, Regional Director General, Pacific Region, outlines the UFFCA’s concerns regarding the projected 2010 abundance of Early Summer and Summer sockeye runs that spawn in the upper Fraser region. It requests that DFO provide specific planning options and information to the UFFCA with the objective of maximizing sockeye escapement to the upper Fraser in order to protect specific stocks and ensure that conservation and First Nations’ food, social and ceremonial fishing needs are met.
