The Demise of Loch Maree

This is a video on how aquaculture is tragically destroying sea trout in Scotland! The film was commissioned by Salmon and Trout Conservation Scotland.

What has occurred across the west coast of Scotland over the last few decades is nothing short of a tragedy. We have been responsible for the systematic demise of a great natural resource, decimating the wild populations of salmon and sea-trout in order to support big business in farmed salmon. In the case of the river Ewe and Loch Maree system, the installation of a fish farm in Loch Ewe correlated with the decline of what was once the worlds premier destination for sea-trout in the world. Not only have we lost the sea-trout, but almost all the jobs its supported. This is the story of the demise of Loch Maree.
