    Part II of the Public Fishery Alliance Trip to OttawaThe seven representatives of the Public Fishery Alliance have returned home to B.C. after a 4-day visit to Parliament Hill where they met with MPs to explain why closing the marine recreational fishery in southern B.C. and reallocating their assigned salmon to the commercial fishery is a bad idea. In Part I of this 2-part series we heard from the seven volunteer local champions shortly after arriving in Ottawa. Now let’s here how things went, what was accomplished, and what still needs to happen if the fishery is to be saved.

  • BC Public Fishery Alliance Comes to Ottawa part 1 of 2

    BC Public Fishery Alliance Comes to Ottawa part 1 of 2
    Feb 11 2026
    In the first of this two part Blue Fish Radio Show series host Lawrence Gunther speaks with members of the Public Fishery Alliance delegation that just arrived in Ottawa. Their goal is to provide a balanced perspective on proposed changes to the Salmon Allocation Policy and Southern Resident Killer Whale fishing for Chinook closures. The proposed changes pose an immediate threat to the public’s access to Chinook and Coho salmon, and risk destabilizing a more than $1 billion angling tourism sector that sustains more than 9,000 jobs and underpins the economic vitality of small and large coastal communities across the province. The seven delegates will speak with Lawrence Gunther again prior to returning to B.C. in Part II of this special Blue Fish Radio show coverage.

    Part III Dr Chris Harvey-Clark on Inuit traditions and Rights to hunt cetaceans
    Jan 7 2026
    In the final installment of Dr. Chris Harvey-Clark’s conversation with Blue fish Radio show host Lawrence Gunther, the two exchange stories concerning their respective times spent in Canada’s Arctic, and how foraging remains a central part of food security in the north. At 5:45 the topic of commercial fishing being introduced into the Arctic by Inuit fishers due to longer summers was discussed. At 8:03 the two explored whether growing support for whale rescue in eastern and western Canada might shift support away from Inuit hunting, similar to how public support has turned against the seal hunt. At 11:38 Lawrence asks Chris what will it take to find solutions that all B.C. Marine Recreational Fishery stakeholders can support? The conversation ends with Chris and Lawrence sharing humorous stories about David Suzuki’s love of fishing.
