Fisheries Management Scotland

Fisheries Management Scotland represents Scotland’s network of District Salmon Fishery Boards, the River Tweed Commission and Rivers and Fisheries Trusts.

Our members work to safeguard the interests of Scotland’s valuable and iconic wild freshwater fisheries, by promoting and delivering best practice in fishery management.

Conservation & sustainability is key to what we do. Conservation and management of Scotland’s wild fish stocks and their natural habitats is essential. Our members monitor the health of our fish populations, fisheries and associated habitat and deliver actions to protect, conserve and enhance these natural resources.

Fisheries Management Scotland maintains a regular dialogue with Government and Agencies to ensure the interests of our members and Scotland’s wild freshwater fisheries are represented clearly.
