About the Nova Scotia Salmon Association

Who are we?

We are a multi-generational collection of passionate anglers and concerned conservationists representing the interests of over 25 river associations and their members, and the regional council of the Atlantic Salmon Federation.

We are a leader in watershed stewardship and innovative aquatic habitat restoration.

We rally anglers to be the champion of anadromous salmon and trout in Nova Scotia – protecting the fish, their native waters, the surrounding lands, our privileges as anglers, and the importance of our relationship with wild species in our home province.

What do we value?

• Optimism — Perpetually confident that our efforts will yield successful outcomes.
• Science — Our position and our priorities are shaped by sound science.
• Perseverance — We are not swayed by difficulty, delay or odds. We are unafraid of work that has no end.  
• Action — We prioritize doing and doers.

What do we do?

We represent the interests of native trout and salmon in Nova Scotia.  We rally the actions of passionate anglers and conservationists to maximize the likelihood of survival and sustainability of our fish, rivers and recreation.
