🌍 On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we spotlight our 2025 Annual Conference discussion panel: "What tools do managers have to address environmental pressures—and when are they appropriate?" John Armstrong's introduction: https://t.co/na8ILRmiJ3 Panel discussion:

In the early 1980s, Atlantic salmon made a remarkable return to Scotland's River Clyde after a century of local extinction. Improved water quality & pollution control were key drivers. Now, 40 years on, salmon have regained 30%-50% of their range. https://t.co/9GEVIKCPCO 🐟

A Little Bit of Optimism - Keith Williams, Director of Kyle Fisheries, discusses the remarkable recovery of River Shin salmon. After hydro dams reduced salmon numbers, trap & truck efforts have led to over 12,000 smolts captured in 2024.

.@Scotgov and its partners continue to take action to protect our iconic wild Atlantic salmon and support their recovery in Scotland’s rivers and coastal waters. Find out more about our work in the latest annual progress report: https://t.co/oqAIZypagn
