Finishing out 2024 on a bright note, Mark C Anderson provides an optimistic update on the future of salmon in California. After less than a year, salmon are seen in creeks farther upstream than they’ve been in over 100 years! Check out the article to learn more about this silver lining amidst a bleak salmon fishery moment for our local fishery, which could be helped by a successful recovery of Klamath salmon. https://lnkd.in/gf9QjVCz

The majority of infrastructure investment in utilities is, understandably, physical in nature. However, as our facilities continue to leverage more technology, investments need to be made in that area, as well- not only digitizing operations for the good of our operators and operations, but to also digitally secure this critical infrastructure. #ruralwater#watersecurity

One of the most talked about elements for improving water quality is the need to invest in additional slurry storage on farms. ?? To discuss this issue, we will be joined by Pat Tuohy from Teagasc, Martin Merrick from the Irish Farmers Journal and David Russell, a dairy farmer from Tipperary, who has recently invested in additional slurry storage on his farm to discuss costs, specs and grants.

Did you know that wild Alaskan salmon supplies are dwindling? And they are unlikely to recover for several years. Now is the time to start thinking about offering blends of wild Alaskan salmon oil with things like pollock, cod or other non-Alaskan salmon oil.?

Alaska’s total commercial salmon harvest this year was ultra-low in both quantity and value The total number of fish harvested was the third lowest since 1985, and the value to fishers delivering their catches was the third lowest https://lnkd.in/ezvSJQmi

The Veterans of presentation bingo at water conferences know that they are usually on safe ground with "not on track", "blended finance", "marginalised groups" etc. All important, but used so indiscriminately that they usually fail to stimulate an audience response. I find it irritating that "collective action" seems to have joined this list. It's irritating because collective action can and does work. It was my privilege yesterday to moderate a session featuring the Secretary Generals of both the Cambodia National Mekong Committee and the Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du Fleuve Gambie (OMVG). Both described intricate and highly successful models of collective action amongst their respective basin stakeholders. Key to this success, they both said, was that every stakeholder had more to lose by not acting collectively. This is the challenge. Many stakeholders in the water finance space fly the flag for collective action - but privately believe they have more to gain by acting individually. So in practice, not much happens beyond the PowerPoint. But the reality is that without collective action, it's not possible to mobilise the investment needed for basin security. Hence "not on track". This afternoon (1pm, Pecatu 5, BNDCC2) Satoshi Ishii and I will be running a High Level Panel on Reimaging Collective Action. Speakers include Meike van Ginneken, Water Envoy to the Netherlands, Adrian Sym, CEO of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS), Rachael McDonnell, DDG of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Neeta Pokhrel, Director at ADB and Franz Rojas, Director at CAF. We're going to take this on. Do join us, but a warning that bingo players may be disappointed.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has crafted amendments to the Fishing Industry Collective Bargaining Act. If the FFAW-Unifor and Association of Seafood Producers agree with amendments, #crab harvesters would have the option to strike, and processors would have the option for lockout, if they can't settle prices through negotiation and conciliation.
