The river has its source in the Sm\u00e5land highlands and flows through a varied landscape of forests, wetlands and farmland, before flowing into the Baltic Sea. River Em\u00e5n is of great ecological and cultural importance and is classified as a national interest for nature conservation, cultural environment and outdoor life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">River Em\u00e5n is known for its population of large brown trout, but is also home to a large number of other fish species, as well as the endangered freshwater pearl mussel and thick-shelled river mussel. Species such as kingfishers, white-throated dipper and otters also live along the banks of the river.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Past and ongoing projects have worked to remove migration barriers and restore habitats, but major challenges remain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Ecological status and challenges<\/strong><br \/>\nRiver Em\u00e5n supports around 30 of Sweden&#8217;s 50 freshwater fish species, including salmon, aspen, spined loach and the threatened European catfish. However, the salmon population is severely affected by a lack of spawning grounds and migration barriers that limit salmon migration to its spawning and nursery areas.<br \/>\nDespite being an important habitat for sea trout and catfish, River Em\u00e5n has only a moderate ecological status. This is due to migration barriers, such as hydropower plants and old mills, as well as hydromorphological changes and climate change leading to water scarcity in some areas. Historical acidification from industrial pollution and ongoing eutrophication in the lower reaches also affect biodiversity. However, liming efforts and improved agricultural practices have helped reduce these threats to some extent, but major challenges remain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Threatened mussels have declined<\/strong><br \/>\nRiver Em\u00e5n also hosts important habitats for freshwater mussels, such as the threatened freshwater pearl mussel and thick-shelled river mussel. These species are declining in numbers due to habitat loss, declining populations of their host fish and a history of poor water quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restoration measures<\/strong><br \/>\nSeveral of the measures in the project aim to restore the ecological functions of the River Em\u00e5n. This includes removing migration barriers, improving hydrology and restoring wetlands. Within the Improve Aquatic LIFE project, the restorations are expected to benefit fish and mussel populations, reduce the risk of drought and contribute to increased connectivity and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High conservation and recreational values<\/strong><br \/>\nSeveral parts of River Em\u00e5n and its tributaries are part of the Natura 2000 network. Important habitats are protected here, helping to preserve key species such as salmon, freshwater pearl mussel and otter. The importance of the River Em\u00e5n for outdoor recreation, tourism and education should not be underestimated. For example, sport fishing attracts visitors from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Other and future actions<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">River Em\u00e5n tributaries such as Gnylt\u00e5n, Stuverydsb\u00e4cken, Illharjen, Silver\u00e5n and Fus\u00e5n, also have high conservation values and face similar challenges. Restoration efforts in these areas focus on improving habitats, removing migration barriers and strengthening hydrological conditions. These efforts are supported by organizations such as WWF and local conservation groups, with the aim of restoring the River Em\u00e5n ecosystem and preserving its biodiversity. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_name=&#8221;Projektf\u00f6rfarande&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">#ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc { color:#008060; }#ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc { font-size:20px !important;line-height:130% !important; }#ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc { text-align:left; }@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) { #ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc { text-align:left; } }@media (max-width: 767px) { #ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc { text-align:center; } }<\/style><h3 id=\"ut_custom_heading6a0c58f131adc\" data-responsive-font=\"h3\" data-responsive-font-settings=\"{&quot;base-font-size&quot;:&quot;global&quot;,&quot;font-size&quot;:{&quot;desktop_large&quot;:&quot;20&quot;},&quot;base-line-height&quot;:&quot;global&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:{&quot;desktop_large&quot;:&quot;130&quot;},&quot;base-letter-spacing&quot;:&quot;global&quot;}\" class=\"ut-custom-heading-module   vc_custom_1739286393713\" ><span class=\"\" >Restoration of xxx<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"wpb_content_element \"><style type=\"text\/css\">#ut_header_6a0c58f1321d2 h2.section-title { font-size:50px !important;line-height:125% !important;letter-spacing:-0.03em; }<\/style><header id=\"ut_header_6a0c58f1321d2\" class=\"section-header  ut-no-title-linebreak-mobile ut-no-lead-linebreak-mobile pt-style-7 header-left header-tablet-left header-mobile-center element-with-custom-line-height\"><div class=\"element-with-custom-line-height\" ><h2 data-title=\"Here we are now\"  data-responsive-font=\"section_title\" data-responsive-font-settings=\"{&quot;base-font-size&quot;:&quot;global&quot;,&quot;font-size&quot;:{&quot;desktop_large&quot;:&quot;50&quot;},&quot;base-line-height&quot;:&quot;global&quot;,&quot;line-height&quot;:{&quot;desktop_large&quot;:&quot;125&quot;},&quot;base-letter-spacing&quot;:&quot;global&quot;,&quot;letter-spacing&quot;:{&quot;desktop_large&quot;:&quot;-0.03&quot;}}\" class=\"section-title  \"><span>Here we are now<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div data-delay=\"0\" class=\"lead \"><p>Fusce augue nibh, rhoncus quis mattis et, aliquam sit amet lorem.
