Join us for the SAMARCH Project's final conference, taking place in Southampton on 14th & 15th March 2023
Migratory salmonid populations have declined drastically in the last four decades. Multiple freshwater factors have been associated with this trend, along with a marked decline in marine survival.
To unravel the reasons for the decreasing marine return rates, leading researchers, like those in the SAlmonid MAnagement Round the CHannel (SAMARCH) Project, led by GWCT have completed detailed studies of the estuarine and marine phase of the salmonids’ life cycle.
The conference will present the results from this research and show how evidence collected by the project has been used to develop tools and inform management and policy guidance to better protect salmonids in estuaries and coastal waters.
