WGERAAS - Report of the Working Group on Effectivness of Recovery Actions for Atlantic Salmon

The Working Group on Effectiveness of Recovery Actions for Atlantic Salmon (WGERAAS) was established in 2012 in response to a question to ICES Working Group on North Atlantic Salmon (WGNAS) by the North Atlantic Salmon Conserva-tion Organisation (NASCO). The NASCO question resulted in a new ToR for WGNAS: “provide a review of examples of successes and failures in wild salmon restoration and rehabilitation and develop a classification of activities which could be recommended under various conditions or threats to the persistence of populations”. WGERAAS was established to answer this WGNAS ToR.
