Salmon farming in the ocean is a high level threat to wild fish and the environment.

ASF and our partners are focused on preventing damage in new areas by opposing industry expansion throughout Eastern North America.

Growing salmon in ways that minimize harm to wild fish and the environment is a booming new industry. ASF will share knowledge about the best alternatives to sea cages and help consumers find more sustainable fish.

Headwaters in Maine has resulted in whole ecosystem recoveries.

We will expand the program to Quebec and Atlantic Canada with the goal of completing one high-impact river restoration project in each province annually.

Since 2003, ASF and our partners have reconnected more than 2200 miles to river habitat to the sea so fish can return to healthy environments.

We will continue to open up high quality habitat for migratory fish by removing dams and other barriers to fish passage.

Full recovery of Atlantic salmon in Maine is not possible without removing dams on the Kennebec River.

ASF and our partners will continue to advocate for the removal of dams throughout the watershed through legal and regulatory channels.

Wild Salmon Watersheds is an innovative conservation program that was launched in 2023.

Working with partners in our four pilot watersheds, we will complete the development of program guidelines and supporting materials.

ASF is seeking new partners for the Wild Salmon Watersheds program.

Our goal is to include rivers from every region with self-sustaining wild salmon populations in Eastern Canada.

Conservation takes people who care and ASF will work in Greenland to raise awareness of Atlantic salmon and their conservation status in North America and Europe.

In 2018, ASF and the North Atlantic Salmon Fund signed a 12-year agreement with Greenland commercial fishermen to limit their catch.

We will work to strenghten partnerships by honouring our commitments and investing in salmon research to increase our understanding of Atlantic salmon ecology off west Greenland.

ASF advocacy relies on the best science and evidence. We will support these efforts by partnering with experts around the world to publish reports on important threats and opportunities.

Unexpected issues affecting Atlantic salmon arise constantly.

ASF will plan for the unexpected by committing time and resources to advocate for wild salmon and wild rivers in response to emerging threats.

ASF is an established leader in global salmon research. To increase the volume and impact of our work, we will identify and cultivate partnerships with leading researchers to share the workload.

ASF will play a coordinating role by choosing projects, providing resources and guidance, and analyzing data.
