Report information

If you are based in the North East of England, now is the time to check out the Environment Agency's Tyne Salmon Trail. In collaboration with local artists they are placing 10 cubes along the migration route of the Atlantic Salmon from the mouth of the River Tyne to the upper reaches of the river at Kielder Water. Each cube has been specially designed and contains a unique salmon-related message that can be taken away with you via bluetooth. The most recent cube was introduced to Hexham, where Wylam our tagged Salmon recently passed.
