The Atlantic Salmon Trust, Salmon & Trout Conservation and the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust are delighted to publish the proceedings of the 2019 SAMARCH Project International Salmonid Coastal and Marine Telemetry Workshop, which was held in Southampton on the 5th and 6th of November 2019.

The 2018 GWCT Fisheries Research Report is now online and available to download here.
