2007 Rockfish Conservation Areas
Starting February 1st, 2007, new rockfish conservation areas will be in effect throughout British Columbia. It is your responsibility to check which areas are designated as rockfish conservation areas before you go fishing. The new rockfish conservation areas can be viewed on this webpage. Finfish angling by line is prohibited in rockfish conservation areas. The only activities permitted are:
Due to overexploitation and their slow growth, rockfish and lingcod populations across British Columbia have suffered tremendous declines in the last several decades. The rockfish conservation areas are created by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to halt the decline and allow the populations to rebuild themselves. You can prevent rockfish and lingcod population declines by preventing any incidental by-catches when salmon fishing. To learn more about the rockfish conservation areas, please go to this webpage.
