Scottish wild salmon strategy

2. A vision for Scotland’s wild Atlantic salmon

Vision

Scotland’s wild Atlantic salmon populations are flourishing and an example of natures recovery. We will achieve this through the application of best-practice science and management.

Objectives

• Scotland’s rivers have healthy, self-sustaining populations of wild Atlantic salmon that achieve good conservation status.
• Wild salmon management is evidence-based and underpinned by integrated data gathering, research and dissemination.
• The environmental and socio-economic benefits arising from healthy wild Atlantic salmon populations are identified and maximised through partnerships between the public, private and charitable sectors.
