Saving the Atlantic Salmon with Catherine Schmitt — WildFed Podcast #013

Catherine Schmitt — science writer and author of The President's Salmon — joins us to share the rich cultural and natural history of the Atlantic salmon. From the days when Maine's Penobscot River ran thick with migrating salmon to the current grim status of under 1,000 salmon returning to the river annually, the Atlantic salmon's conservation story is still in progress. Catherine takes us through the history of the salmon fishery and gives us the current status update on the health of this still-recovering species. An important listen for anglers, conservation-minded folks and anyone who cares about Earth's ecology and the plight of one of our planet's most celebrated species!
