TEN COUNTRIES UNITE FOR A COMMON PURPOSE: THE PROTECTION OF MIGRATORY FISH IN THE DANUBE RIVER BASIN

Ten countries along the Danube (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine) join forces in an EU-funded project to conserve endangered migratory fish species in the Danube river basin by identifying and improving access to habitats and promoting the establishment of ecological corridors.

The MEASURES project have officially been launched on October 1st 2018 in Austria during an event hosted by University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. The launch is part of a two-day kick-off meeting bringing together key stakeholders and international project partners to focus on the project’s main topic: managing and restoring aquatic ecological corridors for migratory fish species in the Danube River Basin, or MEASURES.


TRAINING WORKSHOP ON ASSESSMENT OF MIGRATORY FISH HABITAT AND BEHAVIOR

Experts from seven Eastern European countries gathered in Tulcea from 17 to 22 September, in the framework of a course supported by specialists from the Danube Delta National Institute for Research and Development. The purpose of the six days was to exchange experience(s) and share good practices along the Danube and its tributaries, in order to better study and understand sturgeons, the emblem species of this river.


	About MEASURES PROJECT

MEASURES aims to create ecological corridors by identifying key habitats and initiating protection measures along the Danube and its main tributaries. In this sense, sturgeons and other migratory fish species will act as flagship species in support of our goals. Read more about the project here: dtp.interreg-danube.eu/measures
