FSMB (The Board)

The Board’s role is outlined in the 2019 Fraser Salmon Collaborative Management Agreement (FSCMA), in the FSMB Terms of Reference and in a growing body of protocols and procedures which FSMB has been working to develop. The board holds formal monthly meeting, with additional focused work conducted at task group meetings in between.

FSMB’s work is supported by the Joint Technical Committee, which consists of 5 DFO and 5 FSMC reps. The DFO and FSMC JTC co-chairs attend monthly FSMB meetings, as do DFO and FSMC support staff who assist in implementing FSMB decisions.

FSMB’s work is guided by its annual work plan, which is developed and implemented collaboratively. The FSCMA also requires FSMB’s Independent Chair to produce an annual report on progress in implementing the agreement.

All board decisions are by consensus.
