Objectives The broad remit of the Argyll Fisheries Trust is to monitor, manage and ultimately enhance the fisheries within the Awe catchment. The primary role of the biologist is to gather relevant data on the freshwater environment and raise awareness of fisheries issues through dissemination of information to the public and to relevant bodies such as the LAIA and ADSFB, FA and SEPA. Information collected via research will be used in formulating decisions to further the goal of integrated catchment management. The main aims of the Trust are to: Understand the composition of all fish stocks, pressures on them and trends in abundance Identify, protect and improve juvenile stocks of trout and salmon throughout the Trust area Understand, protect and enhance the physical environment for fish Educate all sectors of the community on their role in caring for the freshwater environment How You Can Help Membership of the Trust is available at the following rates: Ordinary Annual Membership �10 Joint Husband / Wife Annual Membership �15 OAP / Junior Annual Membership �5 Club/Company Membership �50 Life Membership �150 Joint Husband / Wife Life Membership �200 Return to Members Page Return to Previous Page
