Description

The project is focused on education on the topic of salmon and other salmonid fish populations in the CR. Currently, the topic of salmonid fish is much discussed in relation to climate change, fish predators, aquaculture, sport fishing or stream fragmentation. The main topic for the general public is the history and present of salmon and other salmonid fish stocks in the CR. The aim is to shed light on the public''s negative effects on rivers and salmonid fish. The youth will be addressed by educational films and educational publications. The teaching material will contain basic information about the importance of river ecosystems and information about fish communities, their importance and the life of salmonid fish. Project activities aimed at the professional public in the form of online presentations and workshops will focus on current conflict issues related to rivers and salmonid fish (eg poisoning, returning adult salmon, construction of new dams and weirs, aquaculture, stream quality, predation in trout waters, etc.). The aim is to evaluate conflicting issues with experts and provide the public with objective professional information. The professional public will be provided with information from the implemented managements in the form of professional seminars in order to support river ecosystems and salmonid fish stocks themselves. There is a great interest among the angling organizations, as well as other entities, especially in the innovated method of incubating eggs in the mother stream. The implementation of educational activities will also be focused on experiential pedagogy, where individual educational and educational activities will be implemented directly in the field.
