The Swedish Rural Network is organising an online seminar on Euroepan eel on 22 September, from 09.00-12.00, to discuss cultural aspects, current resarch, Swedish and Danish management approaches, Swedish eel fisheries and efforts in the hydropower sector to support eel migration.
The seminar is part of a month-long focus on European eel, also including a pod cast and articles taking different perspectives of this mythical species. It is organised within the Rural Network’s framework for fisheries and aquaculture.
The Swedish Rural Network is a part of the European Network for Rural Development (ENRD). It is a membership-based platform aiming to gather and engage rural actors in Sweden. The members represent organisations and authorities of importance for the development of activities and companies based in rural and coastal areas, including fisheries, aquaculture and Community Led Local Development.
