This is a review of the Trans-border management plan for European eel, Anguilla anguilla, in the Polish-Russian zone of the Pregola River basin and Vistula Lagoon (2014) (TEMPP).The Eel Management Unit (EMU) consists of the Pregola, Banówka and Świeża river systems that drain into the Russian part of the Vistula Lagoon, and the lagoon itself.
