Rivers protected to save salmon
South West net fishermen have agreed to stop fishing in three local rivers for the next 10 years in a bid to restore salmon stocks.

The agreement should help restore stocks of wild Atlantic salmon in the rivers Tamar, Tavy and Lynher.

Salmon populations in these rivers have fallen so much that it has sparked concern with the Environment Agency.
 

It is worried that not enough fish are reaching the upper stretches of the rivers to spawn and sustain numbers.

The average catch for the three rivers in 1994 was 700, but last year it was only 273.

It is hoped the initiative could see about 500 fish a year saved and netsmen will be compensated for lost earnings.
