Scottish salmon scheme nets nature award
A scheme to improve fish stocks on a number of Scottish rivers has earned a European nature award.

The Conservation of Atlantic Salmon in Scotland (CASS) project was one of five recognised for its work.

It was set up to improve the habitat of fish on eight rivers around the country - the Tweed, Dee, South Esk, Tay, Spey, Moriston, Bladnoch and Oykel.

Scottish Natural Heritage said the scheme had seen groups "pulling together to reach a common goal".
 

The works of CASS were honoured by LIFE, a European Commission programme that supports environmental and nature conservation projects.

The other four schemes recognised were based in Sweden, Portugal and Austria.

Denise Reed of SNH said: "Scotland is a stronghold for the Atlantic salmon in Europe and several of our rivers rank among the most famous for salmon fishing in the world.

"From both conservation and a fisheries perspective, it was vital to work together to do what we could to stop the decline of salmon."
