Foundation for Conservation of Atlantic Salmon

The Foundation for Conservation of Atlantic Salmon (FCAS) - formerly The Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation (ASCF) – is a registered charitable organization whose focus is the conservation of wild Atlantic salmon and its habitat in Atlantic Canada and Quebec.[1] After a dormant period, the foundation was re-launched under a new name on May 18, 2025.[2]

The then ASCF was established through a one-time grant from the Government of Canada in 2007.[3] The Foundation provides funding to community volunteer organizations using income from its trust fund,[3] and helps these groups work together with government and Aboriginal organizations to plan and manage wild Atlantic salmon conservation at the watershed level.[4]
