The
Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc. is a non-profit organization
which started in 1995. The association is composed
of 9 executive members and a total of 130 members as of September
2005. The association is involved in such things as the
Atlantic Salmon Federation's Fish Friends program, raising early-run,
fall-fed salmon fry to augment natural spawning, smolt rearing
to sexual maturity in fresh water for a gene banking program
(in partnership with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans),
eroding river bank restoration by tree planting, water sampling,
participation in crown forest land lease advisory groups, trail improvement,
salmon smolt assessment, downstream smolt passage improvement on the
Saint John River system, and various other programs concerning
protection of the Nashwaak Watershed and it's ecosystem.
The Nashwaak Watershed is a non-profit organization which means
that its members and volunteers are a fundamental part
of their success. Members frequently volunteer to clip fish for
hatchery residence identification at rearing sites where the association has tanks,
check fyke nets and smolt wheels, sample fish, perform
water sampling, feed fish and maintain tanks at rearing
facilities, host meetings and help the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans with Nashwaak salmon research.
