Atlantic salmon have declined by 75% in the past number of decades. Help is needed to conserve stocks through a campaign to protect habitat and reduce exploitation. Atlantic salmon need your help.
Sea Trout have dramatically disappeared from our rivers and lakes since the advent of salmon farming. Salmon Watch Ireland is committed to fighting the scourge of open net farming at sea. These facilities are a reservoir for disease and parasites and cannot be allowed to continue.

June 18, 2019 at 9:47 amThe owners of these fish farms appear to pay little or no regard to animal welfare; the harvest is considered by many as uneatable and possibly even harmful, as many studies have shown .

June 19, 2019 at 8:23 pmSadly, official Ireland’s latest denial tactic appears to be for ministers to state that salmon farms are only one problem of many – i.e. in plain English, official policy is to continue doing absolutely nothing.

December 22, 2022 at 12:20 amI as well as my guys appeared to be taking note of the great techniques on your website and then at once I had a terrible suspicion I never expressed respect to the site owner for those techniques. The people were certainly warmed to see them and already have undoubtedly been using those things. Thank you for truly being simply considerate as well as for deciding upon these kinds of marvelous areas most people are really wanting to know about. Our own honest regret for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.
