Who looks after the Miramichi

Since 1953, the MSA and its members have directed their capabilities and their funds to the protection of the entire Miramichi River system.

For over 50 years, the MSA has watched over the Miramichi as a champion of conservation on behalf of anglers, outfitters, guides and all others with economic, environmental and recreational interests in the river.

The net result is a well-managed river system that today, thanks in part to the MSA's championing of its cause, has more miles of salmon angling water and holds larger and healthier populations of Atlantic salmon than any other river in North America.
