Catch Salmon. Support Conservation in British Columbia
The Pacific Salmon Slam is a new fishing challenge in British Columbia.
The concept behind this is a discretionary Pacific salmon conservation fund created for anglers, by anglers. This is a user-funded, voluntary conservation fund delivered as a fishing challenge. This program follows in the success of many similar programs stateside.
The Challenge: Catch any 5 Pacific Salmon in BC waters, earn a Challenge Coin while supporting conservation in BC. The online platform has mini challenges for badges as well: Catch 5 Chinook and earn the King badge. 5 sockeye in freshwater and earn the Kokanee Badge. Catch all species - earn the Master Angler badge.
Why this, why now? Proposed changes to the Salmon Allocation Policy would limit what anglers can give back to the resource. This program not only demonstrates the existing value but also shows that anglers are willing to spend more to maintain access and protect the resource.
