2023

Last week, the GWCT joined forces with City Flickers to deliver a presentation on the topic of "Where have all the salmon gone?" to members. 

Missing Salmon Alliance members are coming together to highlight the crisis faced by this king of fish. The plight of our wild Atlantic salmon is symbolic of the wider biodiversity crisis facing our freshwater and marine environments.

Luke Scott, Fisheries Research Assistant, at the GWCT Salmon & Trout Research Centre got a nice surprise when checking the video footage from the River Frome counter from the 14^th February 2023.

The SAlmonid MAnagement Round the CHannel (SAMARCH) project, set out to deliver new information to improve the protection of our threatened wild salmon and sea trout in estuaries and coastal waters, started in 2017 and now holds its closing conference on the 14^th and 15^th of March 2023 in Southampton.

This week the GWCT Fisheries Team met to celebrate the achievements of Dr Céline Artero and Thomas Lecointre on the SAMARCH project, and wish them good luck for the next stage of their careers.
