Dr Ken Whelan, Research Director at the Atlantic Salmon Trust gives a talk on "The Amazing life of Atlantic salmon at sea". Ken runs his own fisheries consultancy and over his career he’s worked for several fisheries research and management organisations in Ireland (IFT, CFB, Marine Institute). Ken has been a keen angler since a very young age and has written extensively on angling topics. He has fished in many remote locations throughout the world: US, New Zealand, Chile, Canada, and even the wild, untamed tundra of the Kola Peninsula and the exotic rivers of Mongolia. Ken has also produced, scripted and presented many films, videos and webinars on various aspects of Irish fisheries and angling. He is a regular radio contributor to Mooney Goes Wild on RTE. Lucky to have weaved his hobby into his job, he is never quite sure whether he is working or enjoying himself!
