Fraser River salmon shortages prompt RCMP peacekeeping efforts

Fraser River sockeye salmon Indigenous policing fishing disputes Department of Fisheries and Oceans

The RCMP and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) are increasing their presence on the Fraser River to manage potential conflicts during the salmon fishing season. Due to environmental factors including wildfires, drought, low snowpack, and El Nino conditions, sockeye salmon returns are significantly lower than previously forecasted. Current data estimates an abundance of less than 2.8 million, which is insufficient to support recreational or commercial fishing openings.

Law enforcement, including the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) Indigenous Policing Services, is monitoring the area to prevent disputes. Tensions often arise when Indigenous groups are permitted traditional food fishing while sport fishing remains closed. The RCMP aims to maintain peacekeeping efforts on the water to manage these high-tension situations.
