ASF and the Salmonid Council of Newfoundland and Labrador (SCNL) issued a media release in reaction to the report by the Auditor General of Newfoundland and Labrador that was critical of the way the Province was managing its aquaculture industry.
The media release is on asf.ca as well as a one-page backgrounder bulleting the concerns in the Auditor General's report.
Also check out ASF's AQUACULTURE ISSUES page for links to recent reports on the escape of Atlantic salmon on the Atlantic coast. ASF researchers were co-authors.
In Quebec, ASF and its Regional Council FQSA recently submitted a detailed review of the downstream problems associated with a proposed hydro development on the Romaine River, near the Labrador border. A one-page backgrounder describes impacts on matters as diverse as siltation to changes in temperature caused by the reservoirs. ASF's site at asf.ca has links under the issue "dams and free passage".
In Maine, the process of determining whether to list the Penobscot, Kennebec and Saco river populations of Atlantic salmon, and determining critical habitat throughout Maine is continuing. ASF's ISSUE PAGE on US endangered species status for Atlantic salmon provides background, documents and power points on this important issue.

Hi there -
Will remove links if you like - but the idea is to pass along items that are showing up in the ongoing battle to bring back Atlantic salmon runs in their range from Connecticut to Labrador. Links are entirely to news items - not commercial, by the way.

By all means take them out and put them into your response.
Most of my future posts are likely to be such news on Atlantic salmon (for example, there is likely to be a decision on endangered listing for Penobscot River Atlantic salmon in the next month, etc. Maybe I will just "in words" direct them to the appropriate website in future, till we get to 15 posts. I do understand rules.
