Iceland Icon
Yvon Chouinard (Founder & Owner, Patagonia, Inc.) I’ve personally witnessed the damage to our oceans that open net salmon farms have caused in the U.S., Canada, Chile and Norway. They are also producing a toxic product that should never be eaten by humans or even our pets. We already know that there are better ways to farm, but will we have the imagination and courage to do the right thing for our home planet?

Salmon Summit

The Summit will be an opportunity for those in the salmon conservation community to connect with advocates, scientists, and industry leaders. Participants will learn about current developments in salmon conservation on both sides of the Atlantic to enhance understanding, break down barriers, identify priorities, and create effective strategies for 2023 and beyond.

Topics will include:
–   Science briefings on the state of salmon populations and environmental impacts on wild stocks
–   Regulatory updates (domestic and international)
–   International efforts to preserve key marine habitats
–   River-level conservation work
–   Innovations in aquaculture

Attendees will also have an opportunity to attend a hosted trip and film screenings, details to follow shortly.
