Aim of the Trent Rivers Trust

We aim to protect the environment and diversity of the River Trent and its tributaries and to encourage any improvement in the same by action and research.

Salmon Restoration

To date we have devoted our efforts to one major project which is to establish a self-sustaining population of Atlantic Salmon to the River Trent and its tributaries. This is to be achieved by stocking the river in various and appropriate locations, initially by stocking the River Dove and River Churnet, with any juvenile stage as is deemed appropriate for the time and location. To find ways of getting fish passage over or around obstructions by the construction of fish passes or installing fish ladders. A qualification on the installation of fish ladders is that they should, wherever possible, be appropriate for the use of as many species as possible.

Atlantic Salmon movements will be monitored by the installation of close proximity fish counters and closed circuit television cameras and recording equipment.
