Migration barriers will be removed and wetlands restored. This is very good news for salmon and other migratory species such as trout, eel and sea lamprey.
River Örekilsälven which flows into the Saltkällefjorden bay, accounts for around eight percent of the total salmon smolt production in the waters of Sweden’s west coast, making it the most important salmon river in the area. Species such as trout, eel and sea lamprey are also found here, as well as birds and mammals such as the common tern, common grayling, otter and several species of bats. In the past, the river has been heavily impacted by dams, power plant construction and gutting.
