Miramichi Watershed
Management Committee Inc.
The Miramichi Watershed Management Committee Inc. (MWMC) is an umbrella community orgamization
made up of conservation groups, First Nations, individual companies, outfitters and guiding associations from all over the
Miramichi Region.
In 1997, operation of the Miramichi Salmon Conservation Centre (in South Esk) was transferred
from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to the MWMC, along with the responsibilty of enhancing salmon stocks in the Miramichi.
This has lead to the development of:
Miramichi Riverstock
A salmon enhancement program that invites everyone to get involved in upholding the Miramichi River's reputation
as one of the best salmon rivers in the world.
Who will benefit from Miramichi Riverstock?
Those with a vested interest in the Miramichi River; outfitters, guides, anglers, fishing clubs, camp owners, and business
owners who are located near the river and receive business from these groups.
Business owners and individuals who are concerned about the current salmon situation and wish to contribute for personal or
charitable reasons.
Miramichi Riverstock invites individuals and businesses to participate in salmon enhancement by making a financial
contribution to stocking the Miramichi with young salmon.
What your Contribution will Give you…
To help you calculate
the benefits of your charitable donation, we estimate that a $100 contribution/order will put 225 wild salmon fingerlings
into the river; $1000 will provide for release of 2500 Fingerlings into the Miramichi.
Every effort will be made to put fish in the specific area that you want to have stocked,
providing the area is not saturated with fingerlings.
Government protocols must be adhered to, but any
contribution will go directly toward putting young salmon in the water.
How many wild salmon fingerlings will your charitable dollars help to place in the Miramichi?
$20 - 40 fingerlings
$50 - 110 fingerlings
$100 - 225 fingerlings
$500 - 1200 fingerlings
$1,000
- 2500 fingerlings
These same sponsor rates apply to Miramichi strains of indigenous speckled trout, which are also available
from the Riverstock program.
All fingerlings will be released between October 15 and November 15 each year. Young salmon will be fin-clipped
for future identification.
Adult salmon need to be collected for spawning each year; please do not delay placing your order.
