Atlantic Salmon Federation Dinner & Auction

May 9, 2016

FACT SHEET - ASF Fredericton Dinner 2016The 24th Annual Atlantic Salmon Federation Fredericton Dinner and Auction has grown into one of their premier fund-raising events in New Brunswick. The evening is an opportunity for conservationists, salmon anglers and friends to share ideas and tell tales of their fishing adventures and conservation interests – whether it is restoration work on the Nashwaak River to help recover the endangered outer Bay of Fundy salmon, or fishing one of New Brunswick’s pristine rivers from the Miramichi to the Restigouche. An exciting part of the evening is the live auction which includes trips to some of the most sought after fishing waters in the world, original works of art, fishing gear and many other unique items.

Proceeds Are to Benefit the Conservation Programs of ASF

The Atlantic Salmon Federation is one of North America’s oldest and most respected conservation organizations, founded over a half century ago by individuals who shared a deep commitment to conservation and an abiding respect for a majestic and severely threatened fish and its environment. The wild Atlantic salmon is truly a symbol of healthy rivers and ecosystems. Today ASF is a powerful conservation force with six regional councils, including the New Brunswick Salmon Council (NBSC), and 150 local river-based organizations in eastern Canada and New England, representing a combined membership of more than 40,000 dedicated conservationists.

The NBSC is a volunteer body representing 30 salmon angling/conservation groups in the ASF family in New Brunswick. The NBSC plays a strong role in supporting its diverse affiliates in their ongoing efforts to restore wild Atlantic salmon through habitat enhancement, monitoring, advocacy and increasing engagement through youth programs. The local affiliate here on the St. John River, the St. John Basin Salmon Recovery Inc., has been the driving force in ongoing efforts to achieve downstream fish passage at hydropower dams on the river system. Improved passage for smolts and kelts is critical to the future of Atlantic salmon on the St. John system. The NBSC has partnered with ASF in making a significant contribution toward the smolt and kelt tracking research program being undertaken in the Miramichi and Restigouche watersheds to help unravel the mystery of high at-sea mortality. The promotion of conservation-minded angling practices, community-based watershed management, maintaining protection of the resource (e.g. protection barriers) and the introduction of youth to recreational salmon fishing and conservation are important objectives of this volunteer conservation organization in the ASF family.

Our water temperatures are heating up! As summer gets into full swing, you will notice the water temperatures increasing. While this weather is great for people, it can cause extreme stress to a variety of animals, including species-at-risk Atlantic salmon. NWAI is working hard to remove barriers to vital cold water refugia that are essential to these animals for species survival. For more information on Salmon and thermal refuge, check out information from our collaborators at the Atlantic Salmon Federation . Much of our water quality monitoring work is funded, in part, by the Government of New Brunswick and NB Wildlife Trust Fund. www.asf.ca/news-and-magazine/in-the-field/cold-water-enhancement#atlanticsalmonconservation #climatechange #watershed #wolastoq #conservation #protection #ASF #ASCF ...
