The GPFA continues its mandate to conserve and enhance coastal fisheries stock in British Columbia, specifically the restoration of the Phillips River Chinook salmon by collecting brood stock, incubating and rearing 150,000 Chinook Fry at its hatchery using a conservation approach and releasing these back into natural habitats after rearing them for approximately four months. This program also contributes to the conservation of salmon stocks by collecting data on returning salmon and tagging juvenile salmon prior to release - this information is shared with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and helps inform sound management. The society's activities engaged a significant' volunteer effort.
