Policies and objective for fish management in mid-coast small ocean tributary streams, all waters.

(1) Policies:

(a) Fish management in mid-coast small ocean tributary streams shall be directed at protecting and restoring self-sustaining populations of all fish species native to the basin;

(b) Management of individual fish populations and their habitat shall only be emphasized when remedial actions are needed to address critical stocks or species, or when a population is the cause of constraints placed on mixed-stock fisheries or land use activities;

(c) Permanent natural barriers to fish migration shall not be altered to allow fish passage, and fish shall not be stocked above these barriers. However, existing fish ladders shall be maintained;

(d) Conservation objectives take priority over harvest objectives.
