Celtic Sea Trout Project

Programme 2007 - 2013 Ireland - Wales (UK-IE)

Date of latest update: 2025-04-26

Description

Description (EN):

The project aims to protect & enhance sustainable tourism, cross-border biodiversity & environmental quality by filling a major gap in the knowledge and management of sea trout fisheries, which are of particular importance to Ireland and Wales. The gap lies in our understanding of sea trout in the sea: where they go, their ecology, what pressures they are exposed to, how they react to climate change and how their stocks are interlinked. A unique network of cross-border expertise will collaborate to monitor, manage & protect sea trout in the coastal rivers of the region & the Irish Sea itself. Through a fully integrated & collaborative network of management agencies & public end-user groups, HEI & governmental research institutes CSTP aims to; • Protect/enhance the health of stocks, socio-economic value of fisheries and the status of cross-border biodiversity by determining the current status of sea trout stocks and fisheries, and by describing genetic and life history variation in the region; • Develop an informed/coordinated management plan for the conservation, sustainable management & exploitation of this joint asset; • Assess and predict the impacts of climate change on sea trout stocks, fisheries & biodiversity by harnessing the joint talents & capacity of the region’s fisheries research & management expertise to develop & apply a spatially structured ecosystem model.

Achievements (EN):

The Celtic Sea Trout Project ended in April 2013 after four successful years of scientific research and networking with a wide variety of stakeholder organisations across the Irish Sea between Ireland and Wales. Together the partners aimed to improve the management of long term future of sea trout in the Celtic Seas by providing information and management advice, and by establishing a wider awareness and long-term network of people working to secure the future of sea trout. - See more at: http://www.irelandwales.ie//news/celtic_sea#sthash.cU1M7pQ4.dpuf
