Since 1963, the NSSA has been a leading volunteer organization promoting the wise management and conservation of wild Atlantic salmon and trout stocks.

The public is now invited to comment on the proposed Beaver Dam gold mine. This huge open pit mine would be located in the West River, Sheet Harbour-extremely close to our Killag lime doser, encroaching on heli liming sites and impacting salmon/trout habitat for many yrs to come.

The surest sign that field season is well underway is seeing MSA’s smolt wheels on the water! Our 2022 field team is hard at work collecting and counting smolts for our annual smolt estimate. #SalmonConservation

Much larger than your grandfather's mine!

Atlantic Gold wants to build a large, open pit mine in the heart of our 17-year restoration site.

3. If the goal is for a population to be restored, we first need to identify the problems, and then take action to solve them.
4. Success is often possible.
5. Mysteries remain to be solved.

🔥Hot off the press!🔥

NSSA Research Scientist, Dr. Halfyard, and colleagues outline the quest for successful Atlantic Salmon restoration: perspectives, priorities, and maxims!

https://t.co/6rUrSlhFoq

[Nova Scotia Salmon Association | NSSA @NSsalmon]

Key takeaways:

1. Avoid the need for restoration in the first place. Preserve wild stocks and manage them well.
2. Restoration efforts need to be relevant to resource users.
