DEFA's latest data suggests stocks are likely to fall further
A significant drop in the number of Atlantic Salmon in Manx waters is the catalyst for a public consultation to help form a long-term plan to protect and recover the species.
Atlantic Salmon are classified as 'near threatened' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, following a 23% global population decline between 2006 and 2020.
Local monitoring reflects the trend, with DEFA's latest data suggesting that stocks are likely to fall further without stronger conservation measures.
DEFA Minister is Clare Barber:
That consultation, available online, closes on 18 August.
