Introduction from NB Salmon Council President Kevin Davidson
September 2, 2020
Let me introduce myself. My name is Kevin Davidson. I am the new president of the NB Salmon Council (NBSC). I became president in March following the two-year term of John Pugh. I’d like to thank John for his work and exemplary contributions to Atlantic salmon conservation during his term as president from March 2018 to March 2020.
As for me, my interest in fisheries and wildlife and their conservation started at a very early age and led me to a 40 year career working as a fisheries and wildlife biologist as a consultant, a biologist and program manager with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and a senior manager with Environment Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service. I have extensive research and management experience in the management of fish, fisheries, migratory birds, species at risk and their habitats. I am an enthusiastic salmon conservationist who recognizes the important ecological, cultural, and economic roles that wild Atlantic salmon play in New Brunswick and throughout Atlantic Canada. I also recognize that salmon conservation in New Brunswick is wholly dependent on the many contributions and positive influence made by our affiliate organizations. I will be working with the NBSC’s committee members and our affiliates, and in collaboration with the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) to further the conservation and enhancement of Atlantic salmon and their habitats across New Brunswick.
As I take over the reins, there are several issues in which we are actively engaged and will be having input:
I look forward to working with our affiliates and partners to conserve and improve the salmon populations of New Brunswick and its boundary rivers for the benefit of the species and the fisheries opportunities it provides.
Yours in conservation,
Kevin Davidson
