Project Overview

Existing historic information on Atlantic salmon is not readily available to fishery scientists, managers or the public. To better support the research and work being done to protect Atlanctic salmon, a data management system will be developed for all existing and future Atlantic salmon data in support of developing a comprehensive salmon management plan. The system will be useful to the scientific and general public communities. Information of interest to the public such as detail on recreational salmon fishing lodges, locations of public access salmon pools, will be assembled and shared online. The beta version of the database is now publicly available at http://canadariversgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html, by searching CAST.
