Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative is a long-term federal response to the decline of wild Pacific salmon, focused on restoring vulnerable salmon populations, protecting habitat, supporting sustainable fisheries, and working with First Nations, communities, harvesters, and stewardship organizations.

The first phase of the initiative, from 2021 to 2026, supported habitat restoration, conservation hatchery upgrades, Indigenous-led fisheries projects, emergency drought response, and stronger monitoring and science. DFO says the initiative has helped restore 15.7 million square metres of wild Pacific salmon habitat and supported more than 440 partners across British Columbia and Yukon.

The strategy reinforces the scale of action needed to rebuild wild salmon populations and protect the ecosystems, communities, and cultures that depend on them.
