A summary report of the spatial extent and severity of pressures acting on Atlantic salmon in Scotland, with a view to informing management and policy at local and national scales.

The initial concept for mapping salmon pressures was developed by the Fisheries Management Plan template Working Group.

Sean Dugan of Fisheries Management Scotland / Scottish Fisheries Coordination Centre developed the online GIS used to hold data collected under this project.

The project was developed and managed as a collaboration between Marine Scotland and Fisheries management Scotland.

Pressure data were populated by Kyle of Sutherland Fisheries Trust, Cromarty Firth Fisheries Trust, Ness & Beauly Fisheries Trust, Findhorn, Nairn & Lossie Trust, Spey Foundation, Deveron, Bogie & Isla Rivers Charitable Trust, River Ythan Trust, River Don Trust, River Dee Trust, The Esks Rivers & Fisheries Trust, Tay Foundation, Forth Rivers Trust, Tweed Foundation, River Annan Trust, Nith Catchment Fisheries Trust, Galloway Fisheries Trust, Ayrshire Rivers Trust, Clyde River Foundation, Loch Lomond Fisheries Trust, Argyll Fisheries Trust, Lochaber Fisheries Trust, Outer Hebrides Fisheries Trust, Skye & Wester Ross Fisheries Trust, West Sutherland Fisheries Trust, Flow Country Rivers Trust, Caithness DSFB, Helmsdale DSFB, Brora DSFB, Kyle of Sutherland DSFB, Cromarty DSFB, Beauly DSFB, Ness DSFB, Nairn DSFB, Findhorn DSFB, Lossie DSFB, Spey DSFB, Deveron DSFB, Ugie DSFB, Ythan DSFB, Don DSFB, Dee (Aberdeen) DSFB, Esk DSFB, Tay DSFB, Forth DSFB, Tweed DSFB, Annan DSFB, Nith DSFB, Urr DSFB, Dee (Kirkcudbright) DSFB, Fleet DSFB, Cree DSFB, Bladnoch DSFB, Luce DSFB, Stinchar DSFB, Girvan DSFB, Doon DSFB, Ayr DSFB, Eachaig DSFB, Argyll DSFB, Laggan and Sorn DSFB, Lochaber DSFB, Skye DSFB, Wester Ross DSFB, Western Isles DSFB, The North and West DSFB, Northern DSFB

Karen Millidine and Iain Malcolm developed approaches for summarising and presenting the pressures data at different spatial scales and drafted this report.

The overall approach and resulting data summaries were reviewed by a Technical Working Group whose members are outlined in Appendix 2.
