Food Fishing
Gwaii Haanas Tour Operators Association members have a long history of successfully advocating and practising the conservation of cultural, terrestrial and marine resources. We fully support the concept of reducing pressure on fish stocks, yet we have serious concerns regarding the flawed and inequitable restrictions imposed on the waters surrounding Gwaii Haanas by the recently implemented Rockfish Conservation Areas
(RCAs).

our campaign to resolve this critical issue, while maintaining the goal of
preserving fish stocks.
