It also complies with the provisions for school transport set out within the Education (Scotland) Act 1980; with the provisions relating to GME contained within the Education (Scotland) Act 2016; and with statutory guidance on the creation of GM catchment areas, issued by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty and Rural) - There are no specific impacts on equality, poverty or rural issues, beyond those already considered as part of access to GME.

  • Lochaber Eel Survey
    Lochaber Eel Survey Final report 2010 Lochaber Fisheries Trust Ltd. Biologists: Diane Baum, Lucy Smith Torlundy Training Centre, Torlundy Fort William PH33 6SW 01397 703728 Funded through grants from Scottish Natural Heritage and Marine Scotland Summary This study is the first systematic survey of eel populations in Lochaber. Electrofishing was used to collect data on eel distribution and density across Lochaber between 2008 and 2010, and this was compared to incidental eel records from historical surveys (1996-2004). We found no evidence for a contraction in the distribution of eels across Lochaber. Eels were recorded in all the catchments surveyed with the exception of Morar. Eels are known to be present in Loch Morar and may simply prefer the loch habitat to tributary burns covered by this survey. Young eels were present on most catchments and estimates of eel age suggest recruitment of young eels has occurred on all but one of the catchments surveyed within the last 4 years. The oldest eel caught was estimated to be at least 28 years old, and could be over 40 years old if growth rates are low on our rivers. Eel densities tended to be higher on rivers entering the west coast (Moidart, Shiel, Inverie) than those draining into upper Loch Linnhe. This could reflect the relative ease of migration of elver to the west coast as opposed to the head of a long sea loch. We found no relationship between eel density or mean eel size and survey site characteristics, altitude and distance form the sea. Overall we found no evidence for a decline in eel distribution or abundance in Lochaber, but potential threats to the region’s eel population are discussed.
