What is this conference about?

Plamu First is a three-day conference aimed at bringing together the Atlantic salmon community to develop and refine a unified action plan. Conference partners and participants will be able to share and learn through presentations and round table discussions. With your help, we will discuss, outline, and refine our 5-year conservation plan, developed in 2021. Our main goal is to focus on the preservation of the Plamu in our Miramichi waterways.
