Removal of Weirs in Tayside

The most effective way of increasing numbers of salmon and trout is usually to increase their range if possible. In some tributaries the habitat available has been reduced because impediments like weirs, bridge aprons and culverts prevent or impede their passage at spawning time. Removing or easing these obstructions is a priority. A number of problem weirs and culverts exist within the Tay catchment and this project aims to engage contractors ease three of them.
