Ross Hinks discusses the efforts of the Miawpukek First Nation in conserving and managing Atlantic salmon, while addressing the impact of fish farm development on traditional fish harvests. Situated on the south coast of Newfoundland, the Miawpukek First Nation emphasizes cultural values and self-sufficiency, contributing significantly to the conservation of local rivers. They have navigated legal frameworks to secure their fishing rights, adapting their practices to minimize impact. Despite conservation efforts and salmon enhancement projects, declines in population numbers persist. The expansion of finfish aquaculture, with its associated environmental concerns, poses a significant threat to salmon populations. Hinks calls for collective action and acknowledges the dedication of Miawpukek Natural Resources department employees.
