• Fraser Sockeye Salmon: An Uncertain Future. Charting a Course of Action on Cohen Commission Recommendations | February 27, 2013
  The federal Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye in the Fraser River was established in Nov 2009 and released its final report, containing 75 recommendations in Oct 2012. An international Scientists' Think Tank will meet at SFU on Feb 25-26 to review the status of Fraser sockeye, and specific recommendations with respect to the Wild Salmon Policy, habitat protection, the impact of aquaculture on Fraser sockeye and information and research gaps among other topics.
  
  A panel of these scientists will present their findings to the public on Feb 27.
