This edition focuses on a number of important developments affecting wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout, including Inland Fisheries Ireland's new scientific guidance on managing fisheries during periods of high water temperature and the increasing challenges posed by climate change.

We also provide an update on our recent engagement with the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs and the Joint Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy where we highlighted concerns regarding exceptionally high mortality rates in Ireland's salmon farming industry and the need for greater transparency.

Finally, we report on our successful appeal to the Office of the Information Commissioner, which resulted in the release of previously withheld salmon farm mortality, stocking and harvest data. We outline the significance of this decision and the further steps Salmon Watch Ireland has taken to improve transparency and public participation in aquaculture licensing.

As always, thank you for your continued support. Working together, we can continue to advocate for evidence-based policies that protect and restore Ireland's wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout.
