| Summary: | The overall aim of the project is to minimise migratory barriers in five larger water systems in the northern part of Sweden where road crossings and dams have been some of the causes of decreasing populations of the targeted species. Through these actions where barriers can be removed there is a potential for lastingly improving and securing the biodiversity in the selected water systems for the targeted species and several associated species. The (favourable) conservation status of the Natura 2000 habitats and species will be improved or maintained through increased connectivity. The habitats and species involved within the project are: · Fennoscandian natural rivers (3210) · Water courses of plain to montane levels with the Ranunculion fluitantis and Callitricho-Batrachion vegetation (3260) · Freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) (1029) · Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (1106) · Otter (Lutra lutra) (1355) · Bullhead (Cottus gobio) (1163) The projects sites are within these Natura 2000 sites: · Råneälven SE0820431 (project site Råneälven) · Piteälven SE0820434 (project site Varjisån) · Torne och Kalix älvsystem SE0820430 (project site Ängesån) · Lögdeälven SE0810433 (project site Lögdeälven) · Sävarån SE0810436 (project site Sävarån) Remibar |
