Alberta Conservation Association
Conserve, protect and enhance have been part of our DNA since we formed in 1997. Traveling thousands of kilometres in -40C weather tracking wolverines or working to secure spawning habitat for world class brown trout can be a typical day. Pick a project from ACA's fish, wildlife or land resource programs and conservation can be defined knee deep in muskeg, sweat and mosquitoes. While the core of our work has remained consistent, how we do our work has changed over 25 years—from adopting drones and solar-powered off-site watering technologies to engaging new audiences and creating new opportunities between landowners, municipalities and industry. Its these relationships between stakeholders—the hunters, the anglers and trappers, education and research, the public, corporate partners and landowners—that keeps conservation relevant today.

The Kelp Rescue Initiative
Kelp forests are vanishing all around the world. Fast. We're developing science-backed solutions to restore and strengthen them. Many of the world's kelp forests are declining. Over the last seven years, up to 90% of kelp has disappeared in some areas off North America's west coast. Increasing water temperatures are killing kelp forests at the surface. And the mass die of sea stars means urchins are killing them from below. The result is a stressed ecosystem that is severely out of balance. Just like jungles, healthy kelp forests are rich in life. They provide food and shelter for dozens of species, creating diverse and vibrant marine ecosystems. Kelp forests regulate water quality and reduce acidity in the ocean. They can also protect our coastlines from storms and erosion. Kelp forests also absorb CO2. Lots of it. Scientists believe it could become a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. Successful kelp restoration starts with asking the right questions, building strong partnerships, and creating scalable solutions.

Margaree Salmon Association
The Margaree Salmon Association, established in 1982, is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation, protection, enhancement and habitat of Atlantic salmon and trout. Since its founding, the Margaree Salmon Association has established itself as the voice for the salmon resource and salmon conservation on the Margaree River, including being a lobbying force on behalf of the Margaree Fish Hatchery. An affiliate of the Atlantic Salmon Federation,(ASF), and the Nova Scotia Salmon Association,(NSSA), the MSA has been an active participant in the Regional Fisheries Advisory Committee,(RFAC), the Zonal Management Advisory Committee,(ZEMAC) and the Collaborative Fishing Initiative,(CSI Cape Breton), which is chaired/managed by Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources. The association was also involved in the nomination and eventual designation of the Margaree River-Lake Ainslie System as a Canadian Heritage River. Through armour rock bank stabilization programs and the construction of flow diverters and tree revetments, much of the Association’s efforts have centered on habitat restoration and repair. More recently, the association has put more focus on the tributaries feeding the main river which are, in reality, the river’s “hatcheries”. This work has been carried out in partnership with a variety of government agencies as well as the NS Adopt-A-Stream Program, administered by NSSA. Due to the support of our membership, the river and its salmon resource have taken on a spiritual life of their own. Both yearly and occasional visitors, having come under the spell of the river, have felt compelled to do what they can to preserve the river and its salmon by whatever means they are able, whether physically or financially.
