However the eastern side of the region has rivers impacted by acid rain, and inner Bay of Fundy rivers have endangered Atlantic salmon populations. The NSSA is working to protect the province's salmon runs and is an innovative organization pioneering mitigation of acid rain, working for stream restoration, battling the introduction of exotic species, and working with children and communities for all to better understand the needs of Nova Scotia's rivers. Since 1963, the Nova Scotia Salmon Association has been a leading volunteer organization promoting the wise management and conservation of our wild Atlantic salmon and trout stocks. We are a registered charitable organization and are listed under the Societies Act of Nova Scotia. The Association has an office in Chester and is represented by the Regional Director of the Atlantic Salmon Federation. The Association has local Affiliates from the Salmon River, Digby Co. to the Margaree River in Cape Breton. Affiliates are encouraged to attend Board meetings to share news from their area of interest. At present, the Association enjoys affiliation with 25 association across Nova Scotia. In 2006 the NSSA and the ASF sponsored an Acid Rain Mitigation Workshop.
