Sea, Saltmarsh and Migratory Fish

Galloway Fisheries Trust nurture and care for our river catchments including the Annan in order to support the natural lifecycles of numerous species of fish. Come along to this workshop and find out more about the work they do as they share cutting edge knowledge and survey techniques they use on the Annan and around its merse with us.
Marine biologists from Galloway Fisheries Trust will share with us how freshwater influences coastal habitats and why migratory fish love this costal environment. They will also cover climate change versus anthropogenic issues and the impacts of rivers on coastal habitats. As well as how freshwater habitats influence migratory fish.
The Solway Coast has 25% of Scotland’s saltmarsh and this workshop aims to help us build a better understanding of what the saltmarsh does and how it works for biodiversity.
SCAMP is an initiative by the D&G Council Environment Team supported by NatureScot in collaboration with the Scottish Government and in partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
