Sustainable Inland Fisheries in Wales

A vision for fisheries:

  • Fisheries of Wales are iconic and highly valued
  • Fish are valued as an important natural resource for Wales

and are to be managed within sustainable limits

  • The status of Welsh fisheries is an indicator of the health and

resilience of the natural resources of Wales

  • Fisheries contribute to viable, vibrant communities in Wales

Sustainable Inland Fisheries in Wales

The benefits from ecosystems services are not being optimised. Fisheries context: – Exploitation should only occur where stocks of salmon and sea trout are sustainable – We broadly seek to achieve a measure of equity between rod and net components of the fisheries – Healthy and resilient salmon and sea trout stocks are for the wider benefit of fishermen and fisheries interests, but also for the broader public

Status of salmon and sea trout stocks

There has been a wide-scale deterioration in stocks, and this requires urgent action

  • Some of the evidence we have considered:-
  • 1. Annual salmon and sea trout stock assessment
  • 2. juvenile population surveys
