This year’s theme is Braving the Uncertain. The conference will bring together emergency professionals from across Atlantic Canada to share knowledge, explore current and emerging challenges, and strengthen coordination across the field.
AEMC 2025 is hosted by the North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council, the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick, and The Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq.
Stay tuned for more information to be shared in the coming weeks!
Our NSMTC Anqotum Resource Management team has kicked off its field season. Throughout May, we are assisting with plamu (Atlantic salmon) research at smolt wheels located on the Northwest, Dungarvon, and Ludlow branches of the Miramichi River.
Smolt wheels are large, rotating traps placed in rivers to collect juvenile salmon, known as smolt, as they migrate toward the ocean. These tools help researchers monitor plamu populations and migration patterns.
The smolt wheels at these sites are owned and operated by the Miramichi Salmon Association (MSA), with research supported by conservation partners including our team at Anqotum, the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF), the Canadian Rivers Institute at the University of New Brunswick (CRI/UNB), and Government of New Brunswick’s Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development (DNRED).
We are proud to be part of this important work to study and protect plamu!
