Wester Ross Fisheries Trust (WRFT) is based in Gairloch, Ross-shire. It was established in 1996 in response to the need for solutions to fisheries problems and to improve the management of wild fisheries.While the majority of the Trust's work to date has focused on migratory fish species such as salmon and sea trout, the Trust has also undertaken scientific research on a range of other freshwater fish species, notably brown trout, char and lamprey. There are a number of factors in the freshwater and marine environment that have impacted wild fish populations in the region. Wester Ross Fisheries Trust works closely with local fishery proprietors and landowners, anglers, government agencies and other non-government organisations to restore fisheries through improved management. The Trust currently employs one full-time biologist and several part-time assistants. Their primary role is to develop science-based solutions to fisheries problems through the collection, provision and exchange of detailed information.
