Restigouche River advisory committees

Fisheries Management Committee

The work of this committee made it possible to harmonize the regulations of recreational fisheries for the portions of rivers common to Quebec and New Brunswick in 2004. This committee also works with the managers and fishing camps to produce a “Fisheries management Plan” each year. This committee also has the task to carry out a fisheries report annually which gives a report on the salmon captures in the entire watershed.

Science Committee

This committee is formed of various local and regional actors who work on the level of research on salmonids. The various researchers, biologists and scientists of the provincial and federal governments and associations related to salmonids who sit on this committee are used as advisor group to direct research and projects of acquisition of knowledge. Inventory of smolts migration, telemetry in river and ocean, electro-fishing density survey are examples of projects which are implemented in the watershed.

Other users Committee

This committee recently formed in 2007 aims to support the harmonization of the users of the river at the recreational level, that is to say anglers and canoeing. This committee is formed from representatives of the fishing camps, the municipalities, an ecotourism outfitter of Quebec, an ecotourism outfitter of New Brunswick, representative of Natural resources New Brunswick and a representative of the RCMP. This new committee will play an important part in the development of a strategic plan which aims at improving the harmony between the users, the respect of the environment and the management of the custom in the campsites.
