🐟 What can fish tell us about the Ipoly River? Our team surveyed fish populations to see how migration barriers and habitat conditions affect them. First observations suggest more rheophilic species and juvenile fish in better habitat. #DANUBElifelines #HorizonEU #Danube #ipoly #MissionWaters

🐟 A “sturgeon hotel” has opened in Sweden! Arken is a nursery for Atlantic sturgeon and brings people closer to efforts to re-establish the species in the Göta and Nordre rivers. Watch how our Swedish associated region is helping bring sturgeon back! 🌊 #DANUBElifelines #MissionOcean #MigratoryFish

This visual comes from KUMU, it maps stakeholders across the basin: countries, demo sites, sectors, roles , sector details, main field of work, and even fishing & fish management. So yes: it looks playful, but most importantly: it helps us understand who to engage, how, and where across the basin.
