Safeguarding Scotland’s wild salmon and native freshwater fish

Fisheries Management Scotland is the representative body for Scotland’s District Salmon Fishery Boards, Rivers and Fisheries Trusts and the River Tweed Commission.

Our members work to conserve Scotland’s valuable and iconic wild freshwater fish and fisheries, and the aquatic environment on which they depend.

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 and conserve 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 fish are represented clearly.
