Habitat issues / Predator control
Problem: enforcement of habitat regulations and predator threat control need to occur

Solutions:
Habitat restoration (fisheries / forestry renewal)
Community education on value of commercial industry in protecting habitat –
Building community / government support using the idea that wild salmon protection is important to communities – we need to talk about the positive benefits of shoreworkers and fishermen to social and economic wellbeing of our communities
Habitat protection and enforcement of regulations –
Pesticide spraying
Estuary protection
Predator control – seals / sea lions
Starting to get biological agreement that choices have to be made – to control predators so that seals/s-lions remain as predators but people are also included as predators.
Transient killer whales train chinook orcas to eat seals
Fish farm control/elimination
DFO needs to inspect Large Projects for habitat infractions
DFO needs more habitat (conservation) officers
DFO needs to enforce sports – also need to develop a proper sports fishing survey in every area heavily fished - sports fleet has poorest data
Undercover operations to identify if the creel surveys are accurate
Send people home out of fishery for the day for infractions
