Innovation is the answer

Fundy Salmon Recovery is a partnership that operates the World’s First Wild Salmon Marine Conservation Farm on Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick. This project is a true collaboration of community and industry stakeholders working together to protect young salmon and improve their chances of survival when released back to the wild as adults.

The goal is to increase the number of spawning salmon in the inner Bay of Fundy and save the species from extinction.

The Survival Of A Species

Wild Atlantic salmon are critically low in all inner Bay of Fundy rivers due to a variety of factors including overfishing and habitat change. Today, the inner Bay of Fundy salmon is listed as an endangered species under the Species at Risk Act.
