The Institute for Freshwater Fish Futures

Every part of Canada is a Fish Place

We are a collective of scientists, artists, writers, landscape architects, architects, environmentalists, journalists, and community leaders dedicated to honouring reciprocal responsibilities to freshwater fish in watersheds locally and globally.

Freshwater fish across the nation, and beyond, are in serious trouble. We aim to re-centre freshwater fish in the collective imagination and governance of our communities across the country, with an explicit focus on honouring Indigenous legal-ethical relations.

We work with the public in ‘restor(y)ing’ freshwater fish well-being in local watersheds. We strive to restore habitat and species health through Indigenous knowledge, stories, art, and science.
