The Salmon Hardship Scheme closed in 2008 with all funds expended. There are currently no plans to revisit such a scheme.

My Department is well advanced in setting out a comprehensive revised policy for the Inland Fisheries sector which will be subject to consultation. It is intended that options for salmon conservation will be included among a wide range of issues and there will be an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the consultation and to potential policy initiatives.
