The Yukon Salmon Sub-Committee (YSSC), a non-government, public advisory body established under the Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA), provides formal recommendations directly to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and to First Nations on all matters related to salmon and their habitat.

Chapter 16 of the Umbrella Final Agreement recognizes the YSSC as a sub-committee of the Yukon Fish & Wildlife board, established as the main instrument of salmon management in the Yukon.
