The Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance promotes accountability in the conservation,
protection, and sustainable harvest of UFFCA fish populations, as well as the health of the ecosystems
upon which they depend. The UFFCA provides information regarding the state of the UFFCA Fish
stocks and fisheries habitat.
The UFFCA promotes and encourages:
• Inclusive and transparent decision making regarding fisheries issues in the UFFCA area.
• Stewardship of fisheries resources and sustainable harvesting practice
• Sustainability in fisheries management and practices,
• Cultural values associated with ancient practices
The UFFCA provides advice and support services to UFFCA member communities on a range of
issues from conservation and harvest planning and fisheries management, to environmental
assessments and field science. The Alliance’s role is to support community based initiatives which
support the overall strategic plan. The Alliance also assists with procuring resources for science and
research while developing a continuous program of capacity development. The Alliance was created
by 2005 under the Federal Department of Fisheries, Aboriginal Aquatic Resource & Oceans
Management (AAROM) program.
The key roles of the UFFCA are:
• Provide technical analysis and advice on stock conservation including the identification of stocks
in need of conservation actions.
• Review federal; (and to a lesser degree) provincial fisheries programs, stock and habitat
assessments, enhancement initiatives, and government policies and practices related to
conservation of UFFCA stocks of interest.
• Respect and honor the role of Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) and its role in informing
and furthering science.
