The Institute of Hydrobiology and Aquatic Ecosystem Management presented the AIM project at the River Restoration Workshop, held in Zvolen, in September 2014.
The purpose of the workshop was to increase awareness and to stimulate collaborative action to address the main threats and pressures to Alpine freshwater habitats. There was a discussion about application of the EU guidance on �hydropower plants and Natura 2000�, implementation of EU Directives (water framework, birds & habitats), comparing of reporting duties and results, and sharing of experiences.
