I love salmon fly fishing and I also want to teach it me kids when I’m older !

as a passionate fly fisher I promote catch & release as an effective stock management practice wherever I can. Anglers and fly Fisherman and women have a negligible effect on fish stocks. The culprits on their demise are to be found elsewhere. Mostly in commercial fishing, agriculture, and Overall environmental degradation

Because I care about Atlantic salmon ! Worldwide the Atlantic salmons runs are lower than ever and we need to protect every single one of them ! And closed every open net farmed salmon ….

Because I love salmon and salmon fishing

I'm signing because C&R is a valid tool for supporting salmon stocks while maintaining angling.

As a flyfisherman i care about wild salmon population. Trying to catch these beautiful salmons is the thing that keeps flyfisherman out of insanity.You try to figure out what would be the thing to get the salmon take your fly. So many aspects. The catch itself is magnificent moment and feeling but the time you spend on the river makes everything. Relaxing, make coffee on fire and enjoy time with your good lifetime friends. We need to protect our(your) stocks so next generations can also enjoy this lifestyle. Dont know what would be the right choices for that but i am ready to make my part.

I’ve had stunning fishing on the Gaula and this seems like and obvious cost free conservation measure practised almost universally.

We need to protect these wild creatures, before it’s to late.

I am passionate and fisheries biologist. I am working as freshwater ecologist. Studying salmonids and involved in a salmon fishing best in Norway myself. Trying to protect what’s still able to protect when it comes to salmonid stocks.

Wild salmon are under serious threat from extinction!

I am convinced that the lokal economy benefits much more from rod caught salmon than from penns in the sea. A salmon released is a salmon to return and to draw additional anglers to local communities that rely on tourism

The fish are so much more valuable in the water, humans don’t need to keep these fish to survive

I live in a country where we killed our salmon in the 60s due to dam construction an waterpollution. I travel to norway every year to norway to fish these last wild salmon populations and experience the wild nature in its purest form. i am really concerned about the development in norway and the immense power of salmon industry and inawarnes of the consumers of farmed salmon. i hope there will be a turnover and one big step is C&R to protect the fish who are able to return to the spawning grounds

It’s about time something was done

I'm signing be use I love fishing in Norway and want it to continue and not die out like what had happened in Scotland

Murray Stewart (Glasgow, 2025-01-09)

Wild Atlantic Salmon the world over have been in decline over the past 50 years and far too valuable a resource to be killed in any way, shape or form, by man.
Anglers of every persuasion need to understand the true potential value of those fish in order to make politicians sit up and take notice. Everyone picking up a rod and fishing for those incredible fish has a potential voice but, apart from a few, the silence is deafening.

Because it’s almost to late to do anything!!!

I’m signing this because wild salmon is very important for all of us

Having worked with salmon over in Scotland on the river Tay I understand how detrimental killing fish is. We’re still trying to right the stones of the generations before us.

Jason Walls (Glenrothes, 2025-01-09)

I'm signing because my salmon fishing career started in Finnmark, as did many others. We might not have a reason to travel to Finnmark the way things are going. I'm signing for the love of the sport and the respect of the salmon we are after. Sustainable salmon fishing is the only way to fish, if we want to keep on fishing salmon much longer.

Mathias Mähönen (Helsinki, 2025-01-09)

I want my children to be able to see the wild salmon in the future. We need to fight for the wild salmon and free rivers. Open net-pen fish farms, damns and poor regulation of fishing is not acceptable anymore.

Waltteri Mäkelä (Helsinki, 2025-01-09)

I want that Norwegian (Finnish as well to be honest) politicians finally wake up and do something for the wild salmon.

Having managed to loose most of our salmon stocks in the UK - I live in Wales and my river has none! Over 1,000 caught 15 years ago .We must treasure your stocks as you are one of the few last strongholds - I’ve had the privilege of fishing the MECCA -The Alta and was terrified to see so many magnificent salmon being killed! Please please act now. I’m biased as I work in salmon conservation and live sleep breathe salmon❤️

This is the right, and the only one Solution in this situation. The next and last step must be complete blocking.

International Atlantic salmon stocks have crashed and angling catch and release shown scientifically to help spawning and recruitment.

Howard Taylor (Ringwood, 2025-01-10)

I want to promote the sustainability of Atlantic Salmon and protect them from thoughtless government policies across Europe and the pollution and rapaciousness of commercial fish farming

Dead salmon cannot spawn, fish caught and released do spawn.

The salmon stocks are decreasing drastically in Norway. And as a resident here, it is an incredibly sad development that this fish, which is more or less synonymous with Norway, is on the verge of disappearing. Something must be done, and quickly.

I would like my son to experience catching a wild Atlantic salmon.

Protecting one of the last (somewhat) healthy populations of Atlantic salmon will be too late if we wait any longer.

I'm signing because I loce flyfishing and love nature. It's imperative that we revert some of our paterns of consumption. Especially those that alter the size or amount of any animal population. We need to keep healthy ecosystems.
