What does SDA want to accomplish?

• Preservation and protection of fisheries resources and recreational fishing for future generations.
• Recognition by governments of the economic value of recreational fishing to BC and Canada to ensure equitable allocations of catches, financial and staff resources and fishing opportunities commensurate with this value.
• Adequate funding to provide legal representation for SDA as an intervenor or as a direct party in court cases that involve or can impact on the rights of the public to fish and/or on recreational fishing interests.
• Direct representation of recreational fishing interests at treaty tables to ensure that public resources, interests and rights are protected during negotiations and in treaty agreement.
• Inform and educate the public on the nature, extent and potential impact of threats to their rights to fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation on crown land and waterways.
