The roles, responsibilities and mandates of each of the field organizations to which salmon management is delegated are well structured through complex regulations, under agreements that provide them with the tools they need to perform their managerial role.
This collaboration is therefore very important, because these organizations keep an eye on the river, which they know well. They can even make decisions on fishery management and determine catch opportunities that are consistent with the natural variability of what is happening on the river. This sometimes allows us to take the decision-making out of the office towers and place it directly in the field. This collaboration between the departments and legatee organizations is essential and works very well.
