What it does

The Salmonid Enhancement Program (SEP) supports achievement of Departmental fisheries management objectives by producing salmon for conservation, rebuilding, and stock assessment purposes. In addition, SEP engages communities, schools, Indigenous communities and the public broadly in salmon stewardship through education and community involvement activities, and through collaborative projects aimed at restoring and maintaining key salmon habitat in British Columbia and the Yukon. The program contributes to economically valuable salmon fisheries by producing fish that directly support Pacific Commercial and Recreational Fisheries. Through targeted enhancement efforts on key stocks, SEP helps Canada meet its enhancement obligations under the Canada-United States Pacific Salmon Treaty and supports secure international market access for Canadian salmon products. SEP works closely with the Fisheries Management Program, the Aquaculture Management Program and the Aquatic Animal Health and Biotechnology and Genomics programs. In addition, components of SEP are coordinated with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, as well as provincial, territorial, and municipal governments.
