The Harvest App is a website to help lands and fisheries staff understand Tla’amin citizens’ level of access to traditional foods by recording harvest of fish, shellfish, hunted game, and foraged plants.
It allows you to easily report your harvest data using a phone, computer, or tablet. It also helps you keep track of what you have harvested, where you were successful, and areas of importance.
Why use the Harvest App?
- Helps identify trends in culturally important species
- Identifies culturally important harvesting areas for protection
- Helps identify which species are of concern or in decline
- Supports access to traditional foods for Tla’amin citizens
- Helps with recording the catch and harvest that is a requirement of having a harvest card
Where does your data go?
Tla’amin Nation controls all of the data reported using the Harvest App. Under the Treaty, Tla’amin fishery staff are required to share some harvest data with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The information shared is anonymous and targets salmon, groundfish, crab, and prawns harvest by Tla’amin citizens. In addition to Treaty obligations, by reporting your catch data, Fisheries staff can identify and advocate on your behalf where we are not able to get what we need for our tables.
