ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Saving Salmon podcast explores the challenges facing wild Atlantic salmon throughout their entire range. Hosted by award-winning CBC journalist Bob Keating and ASF Director of Communications and Publications Kristen Noel, Saving Salmon is brought to you by Atlantic Salmon Federation, 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 several 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.
