Atlantic Salmon Trust

The Atlantic Salmon Trust is a leading conservation charity dedicated to the protection and restoration of wild Atlantic salmon populations across the UK. Established in 1966, the Trust has been at the forefront of salmon conservation efforts, working tirelessly to address the challenges faced by this iconic species.

Our mission is to ensure that future generations can enjoy the rich heritage of wild salmon fishing and the ecological benefits that healthy salmon populations bring to our rivers and ecosystems. We achieve this through a combination of scientific research, advocacy, and community engagement.

• Research: We fund and conduct vital research to understand the factors affecting salmon populations, including habitat degradation, climate change, and overfishing.
• Advocacy: The Trust actively engages with policymakers and stakeholders to promote sustainable practices and effective legislation that protect salmon habitats.
• Community Engagement: We work closely with local communities, anglers, and conservation groups to raise awareness and foster a collective responsibility for salmon conservation.

Through our initiatives, we aim to restore salmon runs, improve water quality, and enhance river habitats. Our vision is a future where wild Atlantic salmon thrive in healthy rivers, contributing to biodiversity and supporting local economies.

Join us in our mission to safeguard the future of wild Atlantic salmon. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that these magnificent fish continue to flourish in our waters.
