Established in 1982, the Margaree Salmon Association (also known as the MSA) is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation, protection and enhancement of the Atlantic salmon and trout and their habitat.

Since its founding, the Margaree Salmon Association has established itself as the voice for the salmon resource and salmon conservation on the Margaree River, including being a lobbying force on behalf of the Margaree Fish Hatchery.
