Trout and salmon conservation: protecting wild fish, rivers and habitats across the UK

Wild Atlantic salmon is endangered. 88% of England’s principal salmon rivers are classified as at risk or probably at risk. Brown trout and sea trout face mounting pressure from pollution, abstraction, barriers and rising water temperatures. The conservation battle for UK game fish has never been more urgent – or more active.

Trout & Salmon’s conservation pages track the science, the policy and the practical work being done to turn the tide. From barrier removal and spawning gravel restoration to water quality campaigns, predator management and the fight against agricultural and sewage pollution, we cover the full picture – accurately and without compromise.

Anglers are the original conservationists. This is the cause that defines the sport right now.
