Endangered marine life is being caught in fishing nets, but it doesn’t need to be
Nets used in the Irish fishing industry could be replaced by other types of fishing to preserve marine life.

A photo of my dad in Port Alberni harbour on the Therma 1. A salmon troller, around 1975-76
He was not often in the PA harbour. I believe this was when they were readying to sell this boat before I was born.
update: just realized my brother is in this photo! he kind of blends in (70s colours) he is in front of my dad sitting sideways. He looks about 5 or 6 so that would make the pic 75/76

Good Morning #Canada
The 18th river in our countdown is the Albany River, known to the Cree as Kistachowan, which flows northeast from Lake St. Joseph in Northwestern Ontario and empties into James Bay. It is 982 kilometres long, tying it with the Severn River for the title of longest river entirely in Ontario. Dropping 371 m along it's length, and draining a watershed of 135,200 km2, it is one of the most pristine rivers in Ontario and a draw for serious #Canoe and #Fishing enthusiasts. Albany River Provincial Park protects the headwaters and a only a limited number of lodges are allowed on the river, which is known for its Pike, Trout and Walleye fishing excursions.
The river was named after James, Duke of York and Albany, who later became King James II of England. The land north of the Albany River was part of the Northwest Territories until 1912, when it was transferred to Ontario in the Ontario Boundaries Extension Act, 1912.
