An invitation to participate in a two-day workshop entitled „Measures for the protection of the habitat of water-crowfoots rivers implemented in the Drawa basin under LIFE13 NAT/PL/000009, as an example of good practice in restoration of gravel-bottom rivers”

The Regional Director of Environmental Protection in Szczecin is pleased to invite you to participate in a two-day workshop entitled “Measures for the protection of the habitat of water-crowfoots rivers implemented in the Drawa basin under LIFE13 NAT/PL/000009, as an example of good practice in restoration of gravel-bottom rivers”.

The workshop is organized under the LIFE13 NAT/PL/000009 project “Active protection of water-crowfoots habitats and restoration of wildlife corridor of the River Drawa basin in Poland”, LIFEDrawaPL co-financed by the European Union under the LIFE+ financial instrument and by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Warsaw.

The overriding goal of the LIFEDrawaPL project is to improve the environmental condition of the Natura 2000 areas including the Drawa, Radew and Grabowa basins, where aquatic and water-dependent ecosystems are objects of protection. The actions taken also support the process of meeting the obligations of the Water Framework Directive, i.e. striving to achieve good status of waters and ecosystems dependent on them. The workshop aims to present the results of the project in relation to the ecological status of 3260 habitat Lowland and foothill rivers with communities of Ranunculion fluitantis and the living conditions of fish and lampreys – the species characteristic of this habitat.
Theoretical workshops combined with the field part will be an excellent opportunity to discuss problems in water environment management, the needs and possible paths of cooperation in this area.
