Diageo builds weir to aid biodiversity 2nd February, 2021 by Owen Bellwood
Johnnie Walker owner Diageo invested £550,000 (US$752,000) in the construction of a weir to increase the sustainability of fish stocks in the river Dullan.
The weir on the river Dullan will improve upstream biodiversity
Diageo and the Spey Fishery Board collaborated on the construction of the weir on the river Dullan, part of the river Spey catchment, which is crucial to the Scotch whisky industry.
The project, which has taken three and a half years to design and construct, replaces a damaged weir. It is hoped the new weir will improve upstream biodiversity and increase the opportunity for spawning trout and salmon in the river.
