Salmon: Canada
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his Canadian counterpart on the impact of drought on the numbers of wild salmon in Canadian waters.
- Answer
-
The United Kingdom is a contracting party to the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO). As such, HM Government is fully engaged with other contracting parties, Canada included, to help conserve wild North Atlantic salmon stocks. Drought was not discussed explicitly at the 2022 NASCO meeting. In 2023 NASCO will be running a special session on the impacts of climate change on North Atlantic salmon.
