The Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation (ASCF) is a registered charitable organization whose focus is the conservation of wild Atlantic salmon and its habitat in Atlantic Canada and Quebec.[1]

ASCF was established through a one-time grant from the Government of Canada in 2007.[2] The Foundation provides funding to community volunteer organizations using income from its trust fund,[2] and helps these groups work together with government and Aboriginal organizations to plan and manage wild Atlantic salmon conservation at the watershed level.[3]
