The creation of the PFRCC as an advisory Council on salmon conservation was one of the recommendations of the 1996 Fraser River Sockeye Enquiry. It subsequently came into being as part of a Canada-BC Memorandum of Understanding on Fisheries in 1998.
Fisheries & Oceans Canada does not and cannot dictate what advice the Council will give to the Minister. The Council's independence is expressed by the quality and pertinence of the advice it provides.
Council members are appointed as individuals with knowledge and experience in Pacific salmon biology, ecology, habitat, fisheries, enhancement and recovery. They do NOT sit as representatives of the professional or sectoral associations to which they may also belong.
The weather changes from day to day. The climate is the average weather of an area: hot and dry in the Okanagan, wet and mild on the coast of British Columbia. Changes in climate are documented by long time-series of measurements of atmospheric and oceanic properties including temperature and rainfall. These changes affect the geographical distribution of flora and fauna and in turn the human activities related to them (for example, farming, logging and fishing).
