The Economy of BC Fisheries: A Dwindling Resource By: NATHAN CARABETTA

History of the Fishery Industry in BC Off the Coast of B.C. Natives have been fishing since they first came to B.C. Commercial Fishing in BC began in the mid 1950s when the BC Government licensed the first trout farms. Salmon Farming started in the early 1970s

History of the Fishery Industry in BC BC’s Salmon Industry expands from 10 sites to over 180 sites. Since the 1990s salmon number have been depleted From 2000 until present many organizations have been searching for sustainability in this industry

Importance of the Industry Healthy source of food One of the largest industries in BC Offers jobs to many Benefits BC’s economy and Canada’s as a whole Internationally Helps supply trade countries with food also

The Problem Salmon numbers have been depleting since the 1990’s. We do not as humans have a strong sustainable fishing industry.

The Problem Many marine species are under threat from the effects of habitat destruction, climate change, acidification and pollution The fishing industry has been overfishing and the fish do not reproduce quick enough. More than 90 million tons of seafood are removed from the ocean each year to meet consumer demand.

The Problem Restoring runs of wild salmon to levels that will support substantial fishing will not happen with current trajectories.

Issue on a Global/National Scale If humans keep overfishing this could cause extinction to our seafood As a result globally we would lose a huge percentage of food resources Nationally for Canada this could cause a huge blow to the economy as fish resources is extremely important to our economic stability. +

Moving Towards Sustainability Since the depletion of salmon numbers many organizations have and are working to restore the population Organizations are ultimately working to the goal of sustainability

Moving Towards Sustainability Canadian Government programs and policies reduced the pacific fleet from 5,900 in 1990 to 3,200 in 2004 This has also caused many major canneries to close

Moving Towards Sustainability Some organizations are using salmon hatcheries to try and restore salmon numbers and step towards sustainability. Other Organizations believe are focusing on keeping salmon habitats clean from pollution There have also been fishing rules and limits set up to keep an eye on over fishing.
