Protection of Atlantic salmon and river minefish in the Special Area for Habitats Protection PLH 320007

The aim of the project is to protect and strengthen the population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the river minoga (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the Special Area for the Protection of Habitats in the Parsęty basin PLH 320007. Atlantic salmon is an extremely endangered species (CR), while the river lantern is identified as a high-risk species, vulnerable to extinction (VU). Pollution of rivers, their loss and regulation, cutting off coastal vegetation, exploitation of spawning viruses, and excessive catches are the main reasons for reducing the salmon population of atl. and periphery in Poland To date, in the case of Parsę, most of the above causes have been eliminated: water quality improved, river regulation stopped, drainage work was reduced, the main riverbed was cut to 134 km, regulations were introduced in amateur fishing regulations to release salmon caught back into the river, and anti-poaching activities were initiated. This resulted in the emergence of a few salmon and minogs in the river. Another action necessary to rebuild the permanent population of these species is the construction and conservation of spawning grounds, systematic restocking and awareness of the importance of biodiversity in the local society, including among fishing environments.The main tasks of the project: Technical doc., Spawning grounds construction, Active spawning protection, Strengthening the salmon population atl. by restocking, Monitoring of the migration of salmon atl. and minogae rows, assessment of the population of minogae and salmon atl., Social-education campaign, Information and Promotional activities, Project Management.
