Summary:
(The attached document was provided to the commission at the New Westminster public forum as part of the submission by Darrel McEachern.)

Salmon gillnetters on the B.C. coast have a derby-style fishery, which is not compatible with conservation goals. The commission should recommend that an individual transferrable quota harvesting method be implemented. Doing so would give the fishery the tools and flexibility to adopt to changes and become economically viable.
