The Atlantic Salmon Trust has published its new policy on sea lice, backed up by Professor Ken Whelan's review of the existing science on impacts of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on wild salmonids in areas where there is salmon aquaculture.
The policy represents a new approach to managing sea lice, with an approach which could be summed up as "local solutions to local problems".
Studies have shown that the impact of salmon cages on lice loadings on wild salmon and sea trout differs from one bay/sea loch/fjord to another.
What works in one loch may not work in another, therefore governments are being called on to regulate on the basis of a bay-by-bay management approach.

The Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009) introduces a marine planning system in UK waters for the first time.
The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) will have responsibility for preparing marine plans in the English inshore and offshore marine regions.
Before the MMO can begin planning the Government needs to identify the appropriate
boundaries to divide the regions into plan areas.
This consultation invites your views on a series of proposed plan areas within the English Inshore and English Offshore
areas, and for the considerations which we propose the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) take into account when
deciding the order in which they develop marine plans for each area.
The consultation document, accompanying Impact Assessment, and an
Interactive pdf are available at:

All responses should be received by close on 16 February 2010.
