The objective is to provide updated scientific knowledge and advice for effective conservation, restoration and management of sea trout stocks and their habitats in the northern Baltic Sea.The objective is to apply the best practices in the area. The impact is expected to be permanent.
Action and commitment is part of the core work of the institute for sustainable use and conservation of fish stocks in the Baltic Sea area.

The monitoring of sea trout populations at the juvenile stage in nursery streams is common to all countries, although large variations in the intensity and frequency of monitoring are found both among and within countries. Partnership opportunities are found among the scientists in international research projects, ICES Expert Groups and in existing international sea trout network.
