| Summary: | This research project was focused on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), and their population status, health, and related conservation efforts within the western Newfoundland region with a particular focus on the following three waterways: Harry’s River, Hughes Brook and Corner Brook Stream. The main issues addressed are the efforts being undertaken by the non-governmental organizations involved, as well as the department of Fisheries and Oceans, to reestablish a healthy salmon population in the waterways of Western Newfoundland. This paper includes a discussion on Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) and its key characteristics. These key characteristics are compared to those of the non-governmental organizations involved in the salmon revitalization projects in Western Newfoundland and consequently assertions are made regarding what constitutes a successful organization when it comes to natural resource management. |
