Scottish Fisheries Coordination Centre / Fisheries Management Scotland

Fisheries Management Scotland is the representative body for Scotland's District Salmon Fishery Boards, the River Tweed Commission and charitable Rivers and Fisheries Trusts. Our members work to conserve Scotland’s valuable and iconic wild salmon and freshwater fish and fisheries and the aquatic environment on which they depend.

The Scottish Fisheries Coordination Centre (SFCC) was established in 1997 and is focussed on evidence-based fisheries management. Our membership comprises Rivers and Fisheries Trusts, District Salmon Fishery Boards, Scottish Government, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and NatureScot. In 2017 SFCC became a part of Fisheries Management Scotland, while maintaining a distinct membership and funding stream.

Highly trained individuals are at the core of evidence-based fisheries management. We work with partners, including Police Scotland, Institute of Fisheries Management, Government and Agencies and higher education institutes to deliver training on fisheries enforcement, data collection and management.
