Conservation of Atlantic Salmon in Scotland

I’d like to share an interesting and large (£ 3M) and already ended EU-Life-project for the conservation of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) in Scotland that was even awarded as the  ‘Best of the Best’ LIFE Nature project in 2008/09.

Their objectives comprised of a wide range of measures including:

• removal or mitigation of 25 barriers
• improvement of spawning habitat
• Prevention of erosion and decrease of siltation within the Salmon streams
• Restocking to stimulate recolonization
• Stakeholder and public involvement
