A £145,000 fund has been launched to help save Scotland’s iconic wild salmon through habitat protection, protection from predators, and restocking programmes.
The Salmon Scotland “wild fisheries fund” will see the money invested by Scotland’s salmon farmers used to stem the decline in fish numbers, starting next year.
The fund will be co-ordinated by Jon Gibb, a fisheries trust manager based in Fort William, who has championed a constructive relationship between the farm-raised salmon sector and fisheries and angling groups.
