Why are these numbers so
alarmingly
low? | | |
A Record Low Trout and
Salmon Catch in Scotland Has Ecologists Worried.
Parliament Must Do
Something. | | |
Last year, the annual salmon
catch in Scotland confirmed conservationists' worst
fears: the lowest number of salmon on record
were caught in Scottish rivers. Sea trout were also
caught at their lowest numbers recorded in 2021. These
numbers are shockingly low. Both salmon and
trout are cornerstone species, which means that dramatic
drops in their populations have ripple consequences for
the rest of the ecosystems they exist
in. Now that scientists have identified
key threats to both populations, local governments must
act to protect the vital species!
Sign now to demand
that Scottish Parliament improve water quality and
strengthen their salmon conservation laws before it's
too late!
The survival of salmon and trout
affects surrounding species, including otters, ospreys
and mergansers, who rely heavily on healthy fish
populations to sustain themselves. Put simply,
salmon and trout serve vital roles in the food chain and
in the health of rivers overall. The fish are under
threat from multiple fronts, meaning their formal
protection is more important than ever. We must
put pressure on Scottish Parliament to improve water
quality and strengthen conservation! Sign now to tell local
leaders to act now before it's too
late! | | |
