Quebec manages all activities related to salmon in rivers. In freshwater, the federal government delegates the power to the provincial government. So the Quebec government is the one managing the resource and sport fishing. However, for sport fishing, the provincial minister signs agreements with river management organizations. Each river in Quebec has an organization managing it. Its mission is to manage the development of the river and sport fishing, according to the conservation rules prescribed by the Government of Quebec. In that regard, in terms of the development, power is delegated from the federal level to the provincial level, and from the provincial level to the salmon river managers. For instance, managers will allow fishing based on the context and the dynamics of the river's salmon population, in partnership with the Quebec department.
