Save our Wild Scottish Salmon. Sign the petition HERE

We the undersigned, call on the Scottish Government to take immediate action in recognition of its international responsibilities and overwhelming scientific evidence, from both the UK (including some of its own leading fisheries scientists) and abroad, with regard to the massive damage that is being caused to wild salmon and sea trout stocks from inappropriate fish farm activities. Wild salmon and sea trout stocks in the west Highlands and Islands have been decimated by sea lice infestations from salmon farms. Furthermore the positioning of salmon smolt farms within salmon river and loch systems has potentially disastrous implications for wild salmon populations; this practice is already banned in Norway. We therefore call on Scottish Government to ensure that:

• All sea-based fish farms are moved away from the estuaries of major wild salmon rivers to reduce the impact of sea lice.
• Salmon smolt farms are banned from operating within any wild salmon river system.

It doesn't have to be like this.
