Invisible Nature team completed in September the integrated analysis of some sectors of Gilort River in order to investigate its natural processes, which determine the current character and behavior of the river in Natura 2000 site Gilort River. These are the initial conditions of the ecological reconstruction measures to be implemented within Fish For Life project.

Works on Albeni passage
If in May we had informed you about completing the technical project in Albeni, behold that on September 14, works for the passage located in the vicinity of the bridge on DJ675B started. In a first stage, the contractor´s team started diverting Gilort River towards the left bank. Then, boulders and ballast were brought (which were compacted with the compactor cylinder) and the bed was reconfigured to ensure a 3% slope along the entire length of the passage and the hidden threshold was poured downstream of the passage. Slopes will also be created from the banks towards the center of the riverbed, so that the main flow of water is directed towards the center.
Dialogue with local community
The success of a conservation project depends, to a large extent, on its acceptance and support on behalf of the local community where it is implemented. That is why Fish For Life project team also discussed with local community representatives from Natura 2000 Gilort River site to draw an image of ancient Gilort. So, regarding reconstruction, we need to have a starting point, and the local community is the one that has been a permanent witness to the changes occurred in riverbed and fish species that once inhabited it in large numbers.
ecological reconstruction sustainable solutions
The Fish For Life project team has completed a new episode of the series of short videos dedicated to good practices in the field of ecological management and reconstruction of rivers. Thus, Cristian Tetelea, coordinator of ecological reconstruction activities, and Istvan Falka, coordinator of fish species monitoring activities, explain the role of the measures to be implemented in activities C2 (Habitat reconstruction measures in Gilort riverbed) and C3 ( Riverbed stabilization on the Gilort River at key points).
