We're speaking salmon for this episode of the Confluence podcast, specifically the Salmon Run taking place on Sunday 24 September on World Rivers Day.

Hear from Jo Salter and Anne-Marie Culhane, artists and directors of the Exe estuary-based community arts and science Tidelines CIC as they tell us about their exciting Salmon Run event.

Celebrating the connection between the river and the sea and the life of the iconic Salmon, people can learn more about this fish and wider environmental matters as they don their running shoes or visit on the day. See a mermaid bring Samantha the Salmon forth from the sea to start the day as she begins her epic journey with the runners from Exmouth to Exmoor. Fancy dress is always appreciated but not mandatory.

There are opportunities to volunteer too - find out all about the event at tidelines.uk/events/run-salmon-run-2023/ or email [email protected]
