Atlas Fischschutz & Fischabstieg

Citation: Ecologic Institut 2016: Atlas Fischschutz & Fischabstieg. URL: http://forum-fischschutz.de/atlas-standorte.

A newly created atlas for fish protection and downstream fish migration ("Atlas Fischschutz & Fischabstieg"), designed and implemented by Ecologic Institute, is online since June 2016. The map indicates all the locations of measures for fish protection and downstream fish migration complemented by information taken from associated studies. Furthermore, the filter function highlights specific research and development projects as well as information regarding specific basics and activities. Stakeholders in terms of fish protection and downstream fish migration are invited to add new content to the atlas.

"Atlas Fischschutz & Fischabstieg" is divided into three parts.

Location

The map indicates all registered locations including measures for fish protection and downstream fish migration. These don't only include constructional installations to fish protection and downstream fish migration (e.g. rakes, bypass), but also fish friendly turbines, installation operating modes and installation designs, too. The atlas entries likewise contain information about implemented associated studies (e.g. functional check, monitoring, and research projects) as well as measures over different locations (e.g. catches and transports).

Research & development

The atlas lists research and development studies within the context of fish protection and downstream fish migratio but also conserving the population: e.g., location-based field studies, laboratory tests, literature studies, legal opinions, basic researches, etc.

Basics and activities

The remaining part includes basic information and activities, such as committee work, forums for dialogue, public relations, plans, programs, guidelines or policies.

The atlas is a first step to improve the networking of German-speaking stakeholders in terms of fish protection and downstream fish migration.

Ecologic Institute coordinated the organisation of the 9th Workshop on Fish Protection and Downstream Migration, dedicated to the topic of "Technical-Hydraulic Assessment of Fish Protection and Downstream Migration at Hydropower Plants". A programme flyer were developed and designed to provide relevant content on conference context, agenda, and the venue in a concerted way to participants.

Forum Fischschutz und Fischabstieg – Ergebnisse und Diskussion

Year 2019

Publication:Report

Since 2012, more than 200 experts from various fields of water management and nature conservation, the federal states and the federal government, the federal waterway administration, the energy industry, hydraulic engineering, fisheries biology, nature conservation, fishing and fishing associations and university science have been involved in the German Participatory Forum on Fish Protection and Downstream Migration. In the second cycle of the Forum, from 2015 to 2018, the productive dialogue was continued and a better understanding or various aspects of fish protection and downstream fish migration was compiled. This report documents the project work of the 2nd cycle and is available for download.

Project

With the aim of achieving "good ecological status" in all water bodies by 2015, the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to put more emphasis on hydromorphological issues and watercourse connectivity for the conservation and restoration of fish populations. The aim for the third cycle of the "Forum Fish Protection and Downstream Migration" is to continue the series of workshops on fish protection and downstream migration and to evaluate them in papers, reports and publications. In addition, the website forum-fischschutz.de is updated and improved. Additionally in this project, the fourth UBA Hydromorphology Workshop is organised.

Third Cycle of the German Participatory Forum on Fish Protection and Downstream Migration

Jun 2019 - Jan 2023

Publication:Article

In April 2018, the second cycle of the Forum "Fish Protection and Downstream Migration" ended, which was devoted, among other things, to improving the implementation of measures. In this article, the authors, among them Dr. Ulf Stein of Ecologic Institute, summarize the intensive discourse between all stakeholders over the past six years and present the resulting twelve recommendations. The recommendations describe how to proceed with this topic in the future and how to avoid potential conflicts in practice. The article is published in WasserWirtschaft, Issue 06/2018, Springer Vieweg.
