British Columbia First Nations fisheries funding

Overview

The British Columbia government has allocated $2 million to the First Nations Fisheries Council of British Columbia (FNFC) to be distributed over a three-year period. The funding is intended to improve collaboration on aquatic and coastal ecosystem health, specifically targeting fisheries and aquatic resource planning, watershed sustainability, and wild salmon recovery.

Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship Randene Neill stated that the partnership to increase healthy fish populations benefits all British Columbians. The initiative aims to strengthen local economies and facilitate informed stewardship through increased capacity for collaborative dialogue between First Nations and the province. This partnership is also expected to enable joint work with the federal government regarding the management of aquatic resources and territories.
