Watershed Connections

Wild Salmon Crisis

The wild Atlantic salmon population in Great Britain is now endangered.

DELIVERY THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

A growing network of wild salmon recovery projects across the UK

Our Watershed Connections programme translates our evidence base and Core Rivers work into a wider network of catchment restoration partnerships.

Support from The Atlantic Salmon Trust includes project design, delivery, governance, management, fundraising and communications.

Currently these partnerships cover over 6,180km² across the UK, from the Isle of Lewis to the chalk streams of Hampshire.
