Canada Announces $10 Million Grant to Protect Wild Atlantic Salmon
OTTAWA, Ontario - Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced on November 9 a $10 million federal grant to the Foundation for Conservation of Atlantic Salmon (FCAS), topping up the Atlantic Salmon Endowment Fund to protect wild Atlantic salmon.
The endowment fund was established in 2007 with a $30 million federal investment. Projects supported by the fund have restored 7.5 million metres of habitat and opened access to almost 200 square kilometres of habitat.
Canada published its conservation strategy for wild Atlantic salmon in 2025. Charline McCoy, Executive Director of the FCAS, said the new funding will support more community- and organization-led habitat conservation projects.
