This group is interested in applied conservation and management issues as they pertain to British Columbia’s freshwater resources.
The group consists of research scientists and staff from both the BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (Conservation Science Section) and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Its core members and students focus on recreational fisheries management, stocking and aquaculture, recreational fisheries marketing, minimum instream flow to support fish production, species at risk and whole system nitrification and monitoring.
