Cooke works with a variety of community, government and conservation organizations on projects throughout the world. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. The Magaguadavic River Atlantic Salmon Restoration Project is a partnership between Cooke and the Magaguadavic River Salmon Recovery Group (MRSRG) – consisting of anglers, conservation organizations, industry, and government agencies. MRSRG was formed in 1998 with the goal of restoring wild Atlantic salmon stocks in the Magaguadavic River. Our team at the Wanchese Fish Co. are proud participants in Clean the Bay Day as we team up with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and a long list of business and community partners to remove debris and litter from hundreds of miles of ocean, stream and river shorelines around Virginia. Our teams in other operating areas participate in local beach cleanups and our vessels are often used to haul the garbage away for disposal.
