Workshop 2010 | STREAM Workshop 2010 |
|
On March 23rd and 24th 2010, The Eden Rivers Trust held a workshop at the Tufton Arms in Appleby, to mark the culmination of our three year Trout STREAM Project. Our partners for the event were the Wild Trout Trust (who launched their Upland Restoration Manual) and the Association of Rivers Trusts. Over 100 delegates from a wide variety of organisations attended and we have received much positive feedback. Eden Rivers Trust would like to thank the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation for its support of the Trout STREAM Project, and those organisations who generously sponsored delegate places for local angling clubs: The Institute of Fisheries Management The Salmon and Trout Association

This ‘anecdotal’ information is seldom captured by organisations responsible for fisheries management and can be extremely important when setting objectives for the restoration of a fishery - especially if historical fisheries monitoring data is absent. The output of the evening will be synthesised into a summary record which will be used to help guide ERT’s conservation work in the catchment. This approach could form the basis of a blueprint for other rivers trusts and managers to use on their catchments |
