“We can point the finger at Greenland all we like, but unless we do something to severely restrict harvests in Canada, we will never see full recovery of the fishery. The math just doesn’t work out.” The recent Greenland deal is great, but there’s still lots of work to do.

“We should absolutely be optimistic that this will have an identifiable, positive impact on Atlantic salmon numbers in eastern North America.” Get the full scoop on the recent Greenland deal in our Q&A with @seanlandsman (Link in bio.) // #atlanticsalmon #salmonfishing #flyfishing #conservation #wildsalmon #wildrivers #findyourwater #keepemwet #flyfishingphotography #catchandrelease #fishneedwater #adventure #salmon #atlanticsalmonfederation #salmosalar // www.savingsalmon.com/greenland-deal

In a historic deal signed this spring, the commercial harvest of Atlantic salmon in Greenlandic waters has been halted for 12 years. The agreement is being applauded throughout the salmon conservation world. But what exactly does it mean for North American Atlantic salmon? To get a better idea, we sat down with fisheries biologist @seanlandsman. Sean offered engaging and thoughtful answers to our questions, and we know you’ll learn a lot from having a read.

@nickhawkinsphotography releases a gleaming salmon into cold, clean water last month. Lately, with all this scorching weather, water temperatures are soaring. Remember that warm water means lower oxygen. Hooked fish easily become exhausted, and even if they seem to swim away unharmed, the fight can prove fatal. Exercise restraint and leave trout and salmon alone when temps are up. It’s a great time to switch focus and target warmwater species, such as bass. // #atlanticsalmon #salmonfishing #flyfishing #conservation #wildsalmon #wildrivers #findyourwater #keepemwet #flyfishingphotography #catchandrelease #fishneedwater #adventure #salmon #atlanticsalmonfederation #salmosalar #salmotribe #looptackle #loopaktiv #newbrunswick #miramichiriver #sageflyfish #bassfishing #bassin #trout #troutfishing #brooktrout #salvelinusfontinalis

Over the last several months we’ve been showcasing some incredible underwater images of migrating Atlantic salmon. These photographs were taken last fall while on assignment for the Atlantic Salmon Journal. You can read the full story of our Gaspe adventure in the current issue of the Journal. Please consider picking up a copy of the ASJ, or becoming a member of the Atlantic Salmon Federation to get a subscription. Along with our stories, the Journal has tons of great Atlantic salmon content. // #atlanticsalmon #conservation #wildsalmon #wildrivers #findyourwater #fishneedwater #adventure #salmon #atlanticsalmonfederation #salmosalar #salmotribe #salmonfishing #flyfishing #gaspesie

Early season salmon fishing is hard work, but it pays in silver. // #atlanticsalmon #conservation #wildsalmon #wildrivers #findyourwater #fishneedwater #adventure #salmon #atlanticsalmonfederation #salmosalar #salmotribe #miramichiriver #newbrunswick #salmonfishing #flyfishing

June Atlantic salmon have us hunting in small waters. The earliest fish are hard to find, but worth the effort. // #atlanticsalmon #conservation #wildsalmon #wildrivers #findyourwater #fishneedwater #adventure #salmon #atlanticsalmonfederation #salmosalar #salmotribe #miramichiriver #newbrunswick #salmonfishing #flyfishing #headwaters

How you can help

There’s no doubt that Atlantic salmon need our help. With threats coming from every direction, the species faces an uncertain future. The story can have a happy ending, but it’s going to depend on a lot of dedicated conservation work, and not just today — tomorrow as well. That’s why we’re working hard to make sure Atlantic salmon continue to have a strong voice. But we can’t do it alone. The contribution you make today will help us to inspire the salmon conservationists of tomorrow. For large donations, we offer framed fine art prints of some of our most spectacular images.
