Salmon and sea trout are more than just a fish. It is vital that we do more to understand and protect them.
The Trust’s work concentrates on improving our knowledge of these fish, their habitats, and their complex and fascinating life histories so that they can be managed sustainably and conserved for future generations.
The AST has helped support many projects over the years with funding to research being undertaken by other organisations that apply to the AST for funding. In recent years the Trust has focused its efforts on learning more about salmon at sea, in particular their migration routes and causes of their increased decline.
