Saving Salmon: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Atlantic Salmon Federation
The Saving Salmon podcast explores the challenges facing wild Atlantic salmon, from Maine to Greenland. Award-winning CBC journalist Bob Keating was sent by the Atlantic Salmon Federation to investigate river systems and the wild salmon that depend on them for survival. ASF is one of the oldest and most experienced organizations in the world dedicated to conserving wild salmon runs. ASF staff did not tell Keating what to write or who to interview, they wanted a deep-dive into the enormous challenges wild salmon and other sea-run fish face. This podcast is the result of six months of field work, thousands of kilometres traversed, interviews with professionals and volunteers committed to research, river restoration and advocacy for wild salmon. We hope you enjoy the Saving Salmon podcast.
