The Atlantic Salmon Watch Program (ASWP) is a joint federal-provincial program that operates year-round to enumerate and document escaped Atlantic salmon. This program was established as a cooperative effort with this ministry and Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 1991. The ASWP monitors the abundance, distribution and biology of Atlantic salmon in the waters of B.C.. Farmers, fishermen and anglers report Atlantic salmon escapes and catches to the program through farm escape reports, a hotline, fisheries catches and the ASWP website.
