Not a single region
of North America is meeting the minimum conservation target for
large Atlantic salmon. The International
Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) released
the sobering figures this month. The Atlantic Salmon Federation
is calling for increased conservation measures at next week's
meetings of the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization
in Norway. Read more at: A BACKGROUNDER with the facts and figures on the large Atlantic
salmon: In New Brunswick, 10 conservation
organizations announced they will work together to restore the Atlantic salmon to
the Petitcodiac once the river
is again opened up. At one time the Petitcodiac had the fourth-largest
run of salmon in New Brunswick. The PEI Council of ASF sponsored
an investigation of the problems of salmon rivers in Prince Edward
Island that is making
waves across the Atlantic in Scotland.
The issue is the role played by beaver dams in blocking Atlantic
salmon migration. Check it out: Atlantic salmon have always been the subject
of art - paintings, sculptures and other forms. In Fredericton, NB 25
artists are each using the Atlantic salmon theme to create an
Atlantic salmon piece of art. Read
