About the Author
The North Atlantic Salmon Fund was founded in 1989 by Orris Vigfusson when it became clear to him that wild salmon from rivers on both sides of the Atlantic were in dangerous decline. He realised that unless a way could be found of protecting the fish during their oceanic migrations, the species could not withstand the onslaught of the modern commercial fishing methods ranged against it. His answer was to mobilise international support and persuade commercial fishermen to give up fishing for salmon, either permanently or for a period long enough to allow stocks to recover. Since then his organisation, which now has branches in all the North Atlantic countries and a world wide list of supporters, has raised nearly $30-million to buy out netting rights in order to reduce excessive commercial exploitation. Conservationists believe this is now having a major and positive impact on restoring runs of wild salmon to the rivers of Europe, Iceland and North America. NASF has introduced a new vision of abundant wild salmon stocks so that future generations will know and appreciate the beauty and strength of the wild Atlantic salmon. It believes that the fruits of this recovery should be enjoyed by every nation whose rivers or seas produce, feed or form migratory routes for wild salmon. Many of the rivers that have benefited and will continue to benefit from their activities are beautifully depicted in A Celebration of Salmon Rivers.
