    Project objective

    The project's objective is to restore Arctic rivers that were disturbed in the past. First of all, the rivers that were used for timber floating, gold mining and where dams of hydroelectric plants were constructed.

    Primary targets

    1. Restore disturbed Arctic rivers and get new data about their conditions.
    2. Conduct detailed research on the natural and cultural heritage of river valleys in each of the participating countries.
    3. Find out disturbance patterns.
    4. Exchange of skills.
    5. Plan cooperation in this field in the Barents Sea Region.

    The project encourages environmental objectives of The EU Water Framework Directive, Water Code of the Russian Federation and The Sustainable Development Goals. The project's output will be increased adaptation of river ecosystems to climate change and improved health of the Arctic nature, environment and regional economy.
