The Atlantic Salmon Federation is a team of marine science educators and conservationists dedicated to protecting and preserving wild Atlantic salmon through sustainable fishing practices. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of this remarkable species and its vital role in aquatic ecosystems while empowering anglers to fish responsibly and make conservation a priority.
What sets us apart is our collective expertise. Each member of our team holds an advanced degree in fields ranging from marine biology and environmental science to fisheries management and aquatic ecology. With years of research, fieldwork, and teaching experience, we bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for sustainability to every resource we provide.
On our website, you’ll find practical advice on best fishing practices that minimize ecological impact, along with recommendations for high-quality equipment and lures designed specifically for Atlantic salmon fishing. We also share insights into the world’s top salmon fishing destinations, highlighting not only the thrill of the sport but also the beauty and uniqueness of these ecosystems.
At the heart of our work is the belief that recreational fishing and conservation can go hand in hand. By educating the fishing community and advocating for sustainable practices, we aim to ensure that wild Atlantic salmon continue to thrive for generations to come. Join us in our mission to protect these incredible fish and their habitats while enjoying the art of salmon fishing at its best.
The site currently has four primary categories of content:
1) Conservation (working with commercial fishermen towards responsible fishing practices)
2) Sport fishing (tips on locations, equipment, and techniques)
3) Ocean Farming (aquaculture for sustainability)
3) Nutrition (eating salmon for health and wellness)
We’re a small but dedicated group of volunteers who work tirelessly to protect our fish and ocean ecosystems from pollution and degradation by irresponsible corporations to ensure that salmon remain healthy for both diners and sport fishermen.
The Pacific Northwest is another global leader in salmon conservation efforts, ocean farming, nutrition, and sustainable sport fishing. The region’s wild-caught salmon are among the most pristine you can find anywhere in the world. This site aims to shed light on all of that with clear facts and research.
Salmon has always been a popular food, but as wild salmon populations decline, the industry is looking for new ways to sustainably supply consumers with this nutritious fish. And while there are some risks associated with farming salmon (pollution, disease transmission), it’s still a viable option to ensure that our favorite fish stays on dinner plates and not at the bottom of nets.
The goal of the Atlantic Salmon Federation is to build an active community around this mission: eating salmon for health and wellness while responsibly sourcing from our oceans.
Salmon is a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin D, which can help maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, thus helping to strengthen bones.
We are also concerned with environmental concerns related to salmon ocean farming. The site’s goal is to improve consumer awareness by providing accurate and insightful information about the industry.
We hope you’ll find this website helpful in learning more about salmon fishing, ocean conservation efforts, and the health benefits of eating fresh seafood. If you have any questions or comments regarding our content please don’t hesitate to reach out!
