Operation Backbone
Slide 3 - Tekstslide
Introducing Operation Backbone Operation Backbone is defending herring. The aim is to protect the last herring in the Salish Sea, on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Department of Fisheries data in 2019 showed a 60% decline in herring numbers from 2016.
Herring were predicted to be approximately 122,291 tonnes in 2019, but only 85,700 tonnes actually returned. Despite declining numbers a commercial herring fishery is allowed to continue. The fishery not only targets herring, but herring roe.
