The Forth Area Federation of Anglers has been responsible for the fishery since 1962.

The Scottish Canoe Association's website reports on regattas on the Loch.

Linlithgow Loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest or SSSI, due to its wildfowl population.

Historic Scotland has Countryside Rangers who monitor the wildlife and organise events for the public, e.g. the Big Loch Birdwatch every January.
