Attention Bull Trout Anglers
The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) assessed Bull Trout, South Coast British Columbia and Western Arctic Populations, as Special Concern. These populations are now being considered for listing as Special Concern under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). At this stage, it is important for the public to learn more about the populations and to provide input before a listing decision is finalized. Your input is valuable to Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and will inform recommendations and decisions on the listing of these populations.
