The Margaree Salmon Association is a wildlife conservation group that was established in 1982 in Margaree, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The association is a nonprofit organization, [4] [5] that dedicates itself to restoration ecology, through conservation, [6] [7] protection and enhancement of spawning and rearing habitat of the salmonid lineage; specific to the Atlantic salmon and trout species. The association engineers habitat enhancing structures [8] into tributaries of the Margaree River watershed. The Margaree River is public domain, attracting yearly visits by anglers near and far. [9] [10] The Association was involved in the nomination and designation of the Margaree River- Lake Ainslie watershed; as a Canadian Heritage Rivers System. [11] As well, the Association works in collaboration with the Inland Fisheries Division of the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture [12] and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, [13] to assist with scientific study [14] in areas of broodstock collection, stock assessment and water quality [15] sampling.
The Margaree Salmon Association works in partnership with the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation [16] and the NSLC Adopt-A-Stream Program [17] [18] to carry out habitat improvement initiatives.
