The Tay Foundation is a partner in the RAFTS Biosecurity Project, an initiative involving all the fisheries trusts in Scotland to produce plans to prevent the introduction of or manage invasive species or fish parasites.

Invasive species are a very great threat to the well being of the Tay and other rivers. Several species of invasive plants have already altered the character of river banks. Signal crayfish and freshwater lice are already here.

It is an absolute necessity that clear plans are available to deal with these threats.
