The Margaree Salmon Association is a wildlife conservation group that was established in 1982 in Margaree, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. The association is a nonprofit organization,[4][5] that dedicates itself to restoration ecology, through conservation,[6][7] protection and enhancement of spawning and rearing habitat of the salmonid lineage; specific to the Atlantic salmon and trout species. The association engineers habitat enhancing structures[8] into tributaries of the Margaree River watershed. The Margaree River is public domain, attracting yearly visits by anglers near and far.[9][10] The Association was involved in the nomination and designation of the Margaree River-Lake Ainslie watershed; as a Canadian Heritage Rivers System. [11] As well, the Association works in collaboration with the Inland Fisheries Division of the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture[12] and Fisheries and Oceans Canada,[13] to assist with scientific study[14] in areas of broodstock collection, stock assessment and water quality[15] sampling.
