The St. Mary’s River is the only river in Nova Scotia that is operating a recovery strategy for Atlantic salmon, said Beaver.
The
group has recently spent $1 million restoring the river, which is an
important habitat for at-risk species like Atlantic salmon and wood
turtles.
The mine’s tailings pond would be next to Cameron Lakes, and Beaver said that poses too great a risk to the watershed.
