Welcome

The Ayrshire Rivers Trust is a charitable organisation which was formed in 2000 to improve the local fresh water fish stocks through improved scientific management and long term restoration of our local rivers.

Aims

The aims of the Trust are to promote and support initiatives designed to conserve, enhance and develop our fisheries for the enjoyment of current and future generations, and to preserve a valuable part of our natural heritage.

Objectives:

• Raise finance and provide the expertise needed for the implementation of fishery management initiatives and environmental improvement programmes
• Organise projects for the removal of obstacles to fish movement, repair and improvement of river banks all to enhance the sport and leisure potential for anglers and the wider community
• Provide the resources required to undertake research into all aspects of fishery management, including water quality, spawning habitats and re-stocking from hatcheries
• Promote awareness through education, of the importance of our rivers and fisheries and the need to conserve and preserve this valuable local asset
• Establish strong links with local and national organisations with interests in fishery management, sharing of data, knowledge and experience, all in pursuit of the Trusts aims and objectives
• Provide an authoritative voice in Ayrshire to lobby for conservation of our national rivers and fisheries
