The FMS report covers many interesting subjects including; International Year of the Salmon, habitat restoration, pearl mussel work, mining issues, fish counters, Greenland salmon fishery, fish farming regulation, The likely suspects framework, rod catches in 2018 and the 2018 drought.  There is even an interesting article in it by Courtney Rowland about our 'Saving the Sparling' Project!
