Gaining Public Support

Problem: The public is not educated on fish matters: Economic Social and Biological- How do we counter misinformation?

Solutions:

• Educate, educate, educate

• Participate in community events

• salmon in classrooms

• local hatchery/enhancement groups

• habitat cleaning

• West Coat Fishermen Facebook Group – many fishermen belong

• Save our BC fisheries website – petition

• Be part of other groups like food security / environmental groups

• UFAWU-Unifor has a Fishermen Page / Shoreworker Page and Environment Page and a website which answers organizational questions but is not directed at public education.
