The Atlantic Salmon Trust was formed in1967 to encourage and assist the conservation of Atlantic salmon and sea trout. Its aims are to ensure that the wild stocks are maintained, developed and enhanced for the good of the community, and to promote enlightened fishery management in this cause.

The Trust acts as a centre for information about Atlantic salmon conservation. Its Honorary Scientific Advisory Panel, through which it encourages and supports practical research projects and organises conferences and workshops on specific problems, is internationally recognised. The Trust publishes the results of its work in a series of Blue Books, which will interest all who are concerned about the state of the wild fish.

This is only part of the story. The Trust seeks the development of fair and effective policies for salmon management. It provides a source of advice to Government Departments and Fishery Authorities, and to members of both Houses of Parliament, and is frequently consulted by a wide range of organisations and individuals. With its French and North American counterparts, The Trust helped to inspire the formation of the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation, which regulates salmon fishing at sea, and at which meetings the Trust is a recognised observer.

The Atlantic Salmon Trust is funded by voluntary contributions from individuals and groups interested in salmon conservation. It receives no support from any Government funds. Its sponsorship of research is notably enhanced by an annual Postal Auction, in which fishing generously given by owners is offered for sale on the Trust's behalf, providing access to many rivers that would not normally be available. The Trust is registered as a charity.

If you care about salmon and sea trout, become a supporter of the Trust. You will receive copies of the six-monthly Progress Reports and details of Blue Books as they are published. Support through a Deed of Covenant is particularly helpful.
