Coastal Rivers Conservancy (CRC) is Wild Salmon Center’s strategic partner working on the long-term protection of wild salmon and steelhead ecosystems in British Columbia’s inner central coast. That area includes the Dean River, Fitz Hugh Sound, Bentick Arms, and the Fisher, Burke and Dean marine channels.

CRC takes a collaborative approach to address complex fisheries management, habitat, and development issues that impact BC’s inner central coast ecosystem and communities. The organization cooperates with First Nations, NGOs, government agencies, and other stakeholders to develop and maintain up-to-date knowledge of salmon and steelhead stocks and to implement protections that lead to their best possible long-term health.

The organization works closely with Wild Salmon Center’s science team to build knowledge in the region to guide fisheries management. WSC Science Director Dr. Matthew Sloat serves as CRC’s science advisor.
