To work for the conservation and improvement of wild salmon and sea trout stocks, support marine and freshwater research, give independent research-based advice to governments, international and national authorities and to commercial enterprises, and co-ordinate activities with other conservation, environmental, fishery, heritage and wildlife agencies and organisations.

During the last 30 years, numbers of wild salmon returning from the sea have fallen by more than half. Wild Salmon and Sea Trout are an important natural resource and we need help to find out why, and what can be done to stem this decline. Since 1967, the Atlantic Salmon Trust has been involved in the funding and sponsorship of practical research programmes tackling the problems wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout face today.
