Fisheries and Oceans Canada Aquaculture Management Advisory Committee Website
Within B.C., aquaculture activities are regulated by DFO. As part of this process, DFO has established an Aquaculture Management Advisory Committee (AMAC) for Finfish and an AMAC for Shellfish. The objective of the meetings is to bring together a range of interests related to aquaculture in order to discuss and provide advice to DFO regarding aquaculture management in British Columbia. First Nations have been allocated 7 seats at the AMAC table.
