The work of the N. B. Council is carried out by volunteers and it is funded entirely by donations from persons interested in the conservation and wise management of the wild Atlantic salmon.
The Council encourages cooperation between various orders of government involved, whether directly or indirectly, in conservation and management of the wild Atlantic salmon. The goal is to ensure that sufficient resources for protection of the wild Atlantic salmon are allocated and maintained by the various orders of government whose mandate it is to provide such protection and enforcement resources.

We encourage elimination of all existing gill net fisheries for the wild Atlantic salmon.
