3. HISTORY OF THE FISHERY

The intertidal harvest of goose barnacles grew rapidly from its beginning in 1985. Landings peaked in 1988 with 467 licences issued and reported landings of 49 tonnes. Between 1989 and 1993 annual landings ranged between 30 and 40 tonnes. In 1994 reported catch declined to about 19 tonnes and preliminary data for 1995 shows a further decline to seven tonnes. The

'landed value of this fishery was approximately $73,000 in 1995, a decline from $273,000 in ' 1994. The fluctuations in reported landings are related to market conditions rather than stock abundance.

There are currently no limits applied in this fishery, since most of the stock is not available for harvest due to inaccessible harvest conditions or unsuitable size and qUality. It has been estimated that less than 10% of the total stock is available to the fishery.

The fishery expanded into the north coast in 1988 and 1989, but shipment of live product from the north has proved difficult. Only 0.5 tonnes were landed from all north coast areas in 1990, 0.2 tonnes in 1992 and no subsequent landings ()f goose barnacles were reported from the north coast areas until 1994 when nine tonnes were landed. No reported landings were made in 1995 for the north coast region. The reported landings from south coast areas mainly occur along the west coast of Vancouver Island. Areas 23, 24 and 26 make up the vast majority of the Goose Barnacle catch each year. Goose Barnacle harvesting usually occurs steadily throughout the "J year,

4. ENFORCEMENT PLAN

The Conservation and Protection Sector of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has the responsibility to enforce the Fisheries Act and associated regulations, to address conservation, health and safety issues and to maintain proper management and control of the various fisheries.

Users of the resource have a responsibility to report violations. Any suspected or actual fisheries, wildlife or pollution violations can be quickly and discretely reported to the appropriate Enforcement Officer by using the toll free Observe, Record and Report hotline. This toll free number is available 24 hours a day. Confidentiality is assured.

OBSERVE, RECORD AND REPORT -J-800-465-4DFO (1-800-465-4336)

Enforcement enquiries can also be directed to the local field offices during regular office hours,

ABORIGINAL FISHERIES PLAN

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) recognizes the importance of fish, including invertebrates, to the aboriginal peoples of British Columbia. Through the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy, DFO seeks to negotiate, with aboriginal organizations, allocations for food. social and ceremonial purposes. Subject to conservation, these allocations will have priority over allocations for commercial and recreational user groups.

DFO will consult with aboriginal organizations to determine what these allocations should be. In some cases, instead of negotiating allocations, an area may be closed to certain fishing except fishing by an aboriginal organization. These closures may be for the season or for specified times. Whenever possible, the appropriate annual fishing plan will identify such closures. It is possible, however, that situations may arise in the implementation of this plan where access to the fishery by aboriginal organizations for food, social and ceremonial purposes is jeopardized. In-season closure adjustments may be required. Communal licences will be issued to the aboriginal organization for the fishing.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the appropriate Divisional Aboriginal Fisheries staff listed in Section I of this fishing plan.

6. SPORT FISHING PLAN

The recreational harvest of shellfish is regulated via the British Columbia Sport Fishing Regulation~ made under the Fisheries Act. A DFO Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence is required for the recreational harvest of all shellfish species. The regulations are summarized annually in the British Columbia Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Guide which lists closed times, bag limits, size limits (where applicable) and closed areas. If necessary, public notices are posted to document closures or changes from the Guide. Closures may be implemented in order to conserve vulnerable stocks, or to protect the public from consumption of contaminated shellfish or to meet aboriginal food, social and ceremonial needs. For some species, areas have been closed to commercial harvest or commercial harvest openings have been delayed to provide an opportunity for the recreational community.

The primary consultative body for the recreational fishing community is the Sport Fishing Advisory Board (SFAB). The SFAB has representatives from all parts of this community including the B.C. Wildlife Federation and the Sport Fishing Institute of B.C. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact a Recreational Fisheries Coordinator listed in Section I of this fishing plan or a local Fisheries Office.

The sport fishing limit is 2 kg per day, with a possession limit of 4 kg.

The hard copy of the harvest logs and chart records, as well as the completed electronic copy of both must be forwarded within 28 days following the end of each month in which fishing occurred. This information must be sent to the above address.

7.5.1.2. Catch information·must be recorded in the harvest log by midnight of the day of fishing. The logbook must be at the harvest site. Logbooks must be produced for examination on demand of a fishery officer, guardian or a fishery observer designated under the Fisheries Act.

7.5.1.3. The licence holder of record reported with the Commercial Licence Unit is responsible for completing and submitting a copy of the log data. DFO can only release the log data to the licence holder of record, and only upon written request.

THE DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES AND OCEANS WISHES TO REMIND FISHERS THAT IT IS A CONDITION OF LICENCE THAT LOGS BE COMPLETED DAILY FOR EACH DAY FISHED AND TURNED IN WITHIN 28 DAYS FOLLOWING THE END OF EACH MONTH IN WHICH FISHING OCCURRED. DELAY OF COMPLETION OR SUBMISSION OF LOGS IS A VIOLATION OF A CONDITION OF LICENCE.

7.5.2. Confidentiality of Harvest Data

7.5.2.1. Harvest data, including fishing location data supplied through lat.llong. co·ordinates, loran or chart records, collected under the harvest logbooks for Shellfish Fisheries programs, are collected for use by DFO in the proper assessment, management and control of the fisheries. Upon receipt by DFO of harvest log data andlor fishing location information, supplied by the fisher in accordance with conditions of licence, Section 20(1 )(b) of the Access to Information Act prevents DFO from disclosing to a third party, records containing financial, commercial, scientific or technical information that is confidential information. Further, Section 20(l)(c) of the Act prevents DFO from giving out information, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to result in material financial loss or could reasonably be expected to prejudice the competitive position of the fisher.

7.5.3. Fish Slip Requirements

7.5.3.1. It is a condition of this licence that an accurate written report shall be furnished on a fish slip of all fish and shellfish caught under the authority of this licence. A report must be made even if the fish and shellfish landed are used for

8. OTHER RESTRICTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

8.1. Fisher Responsibility

8.1.1. Sewage, Garbage and Debris Control

Although most harvesters have shown a responsible approach towards keeping beaches free from garbage and other pollution, recently an increasing number of complaints have been received from other beach users about garbage spread by harvesters on some beaches. DFO asks that harvesters take care to remove all garbage from harvest sites; violators are subject to prosecution under the B.C. Litter Act.

8.1.2. Wet Storage

It should be noted that wet storage of harvested goose barnacles may not occur in those areas closed for sanitary reasons. Consult local fisheries office.

8.1.3. Openings and Closures

Fishers are responsible for ensuring areas are open for harvest before going fishing. Fishers may contact the Vancouver Shellfish Tape Message at (604) 666-2828 to receive information on open and closed areas or contact a fisheries manager listed in Section I of this plan.
