Corey Clark, Ecologist Team Leader FNP It takes a community to recover a critically endangered species. That’s the approach taken by an innovative partnership called Fundy Salmon Recovery, which is celebrating the successful release of a record number of wild, adult inner Bay of Fundy (iBoF) Atlantic salmon.
Wild Atlantic salmon populations have been declining dramatically for decades. Endangered since 2002, the decline of the wild iBoF Atlantic salmon population has been well documented but poorly understood. Fundy Salmon Recovery is looking to change that. With a unique migration limited to the Bay of Fundy, and a portion of their freshwater range protected within Fundy National Park, iBoF Atlantic salmon provide a globally unique research and recovery opportunity. Fundy Salmon Recovery, now running an advanced program has created a conservation model for other recovery efforts worldwide.
