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
Thank you for a great night, Neville!
Reviewing notes and ready to emcee the Halifax @SalmonNews and @NSsalmon dinner tonight at Pier 21. Full house expected in support of the work of these two excellent organizations. #salmon #conservation

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

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.
