Salmon news: conservation, river reports and the fight for wild Atlantic salmon
The news surrounding wild Atlantic salmon has never been more urgent. 88% of England’s principal salmon rivers are now classified as at risk or probably at risk, stocks have crashed across Scotland and Wales, and the species is officially classified as endangered in Great Britain by the IUCN. The battle to save wild salmon is the defining conservation story of our time – and Trout & Salmon is at the centre of it.
Our salmon news covers river catch reports, hatchery programmes, habitat restoration, pollution battles, barrier removal, legislative changes and the science driving conservation efforts across the UK and Ireland. We report what is happening on the Tay, Tweed, Spey, Wye, Exe and beyond – from opening day to the final autumn run.
