In Improve Aquatic LIFE we work in different themes. These are improving connectivity in watercourses, improving habitats in watercourses and coastal areas, improving the hydrological regime by restoring the water-holding capacity of the landscape and improving conditions for our target species salmon, sea lamprey, thick-shelled mussel and river pearl mussel. For each theme, we have a theme coordinator who, among other things, will ensure that we take advantage of the results and experiences we gain within the project by documenting the learning.
400 million for nature conservation
The County Administrative Board of Skåne is receiving EU support to launch Europe’s largest water restoration project. Almost SEK 400 million will be invested in improving aquatic environments, reducing the effects of climate change and strengthening threatened fish and mussel populations in southern Sweden, where watercourses, wetlands and coastal waters will be restored.
