 * Welcome to ASF's FishFriends COMMUNITY pages 2011**

The [|**Atlantic Salmon Federation**] created ** Fish Friends ** in 1992 to provide a fun, hands-on program on Atlantic salmon and trout with a great curriculum guide for teachers. The program has developed a life of its own, and both teachers and kids are doing all sorts of wonderful things while raising Atlantic salmon, and in some instances wild trout. Seeing young Atlantic salmon and brook trout hatch from **eggs** and grow to **fry** before being **released into streams**, FishFriends lets kids find out more about freshwater, and have a hands-on experience with raising wild fish.

==== **As a member of the community of classrooms and other organizations raising these fish, __we invite you to make a Wiki page on this site__, and add your photos, experiences etc. for the 2011 season.** ====

Presently more than ** 630 schools with 680 units ** - and ** 20,000 kids ** each year - take part. That makes it a big **FishFriends Community** to share the excitement and challenges of raising the fish and learning about freshwater.

//Setting up __YOUR__ school page on this site...//
//**Setting up the school page**// is quite straight forward, but if you need some extra help getting started, send me an email - asfweb@nbnet.nb.ca and I will try to assist.

Wherever you are, let others know about your experiences. There are even schools now raising Atlantic salmon in Europe - so if you are in places like Galloway, Scotland or elsewhere, please let others know about your exciting times with the Atlantic salmon in the classroom.

By the way, check out the extra resources available from http://asf.ca on their [|issues] pages, and in the [|ASF FishFriends] section, including troubleshooting. And want an atlas for all the 700+ Atlantic salmon rivers in North America? [|click here] for the atlas and other things.


 * Remember - keep the NAVIGATION NAME of your page SHORT! - Two or Three Words MAX! - Perhaps one word OR abbreviation for SCHOOL, one for the PLACE, and the last the abbreviation for the PROVINCE or STATE ( eg. VMES-ST.ANDREWS-NB ). Give more details & full name of school on the actual page.**


 * Have Fun! And share your Fish Friends experience!**
