The Sport Fishing Institute of BC, representing the interests of hundreds of thousands of anglers and working with communities and organizations across the province, is dedicated to protecting, enhancing and promoting sustainable access and opportunity to the public fishery on BC’s west coast. Your raffle ticket purchase will help support the SFI’s efforts to secure a healthy future for BC’s public fisheries and the marine resources on which they depend.
Mass marking (MM) of all hatchery fish produced in BC and the expansion of hatchery retention fishery or mark selective fisheries (MSF) are an important and accepted approach that help protect wild salmon, allow for sustainable opportunity, and our economy and coastal communities to benefit from fishing activity.
