“Although, over many years, we have carried out an enormous amount of research on rivers we know little about the salmon's life at sea. However, it is at sea that things seem to be going wrong despite enormous reductions in marine salmon fisheries.

The IASRB was established by NASCO to promote collaboration and co-operation on research into the causes of marine mortality of Atlantic salmon and the opportunities to counteract it. Each NASCO Party is a founding member of the Board which also includes representation from NASCO's affiliated Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). The Board maintains an inventory of research projects; identifies research gaps and needs; funds approved projects; and provides a forum for co-ordination of research efforts.
