Wild salmon strategy: implementation plan 2023 to 2028

Objectives

• Scotland's rivers have healthy, self-sustaining populations of wild Atlantic salmon that achieve good conservation status.
• Wild salmon management is evidence-based and underpinned by integrated data gathering, research and dissemination.
• The environmental and socio-economic benefits arising from healthy wild Atlantic salmon populations are identified and maximised through partnerships between the public, private and charitable sectors.

The Strategy and the Plan sit within an overall policy structure that is aligned towards achieving Scotland's National Outcomes. This includes Scotland's National Strategy for Economic Transformation and the Environment Strategy for Scotland, the overarching framework for Scotland's strategies and plans on the environment and climate change.
