Notice to band members and fishers:
Due to slow returns, Metlakatla Fisheries (MFP) will be distributing sockeye at the rate of 10 sockeye per member, and maximum of 40 per household, until abundance allows for distribution of the full allocation. MFP staff would like to remind fishers that the program is responsible for distribution, and there are still elders and members without fishing capacity that need to receive sockeye before moving onto other band members.
The Metlakatla Fisheries Department is undertaking food fish distribution and asks all members to please be patient and respectful of Metlakatla Fisheries staff. We will attempt to reach out to each member on the contact list, but are working to address the food fish needs of elders, members traveling from out-of-town and members without the ability to harvest their own food fish first.

To All Member Boat Owners,
The annual food fish program is now taking place and members are excited about receiving food fish this year.
Please be advised Metlakatla Governing Council does not want vessels of any size tying up at the Prince Rupert dock any longer than a day and no overnighting on the outside of the dock during the food fish program. This space is required for vessels off-loading food fish in Prince Rupert.
Signs are posted in clear view stating long term moorage is not permitted due to limited space for moorage.
Metlakatla fisheries is now accepting halibut and sockeye from fishers as part of the 2016 Food Fish Distribution program.
