Contact the Salmonid Enhancement Program
Our Salmonid Enhancement Program staff include field technologists, biologists, planners, engineers, technicians, community advisors and education coordinators located in areas across BC and the Yukon.
Our community advisors work alongside the stewardship community as active partners. From assisting with mini-hatchery programs and policy implementation to taking an active role in watershed planning, our community advisors are the key liaisons between Fisheries and Oceans Canada and community-based stewardship projects in BC.
