Docapesca, one of LIFE ÁGUEDA's partners, has launched, since last June 1st, a campaign to promote Portuguese fresh fish through the CCL – label of proof of purchase in a fish auction market.
The campaign will take place at adhering points of sale (more than 1000, between department stores, municipal markets and fishmongers), on social networks (facebook.com/docapesca and facebook.com/life.agueda) and in outdoor advertising, through collaboration with the municipalities.
It is recalled that the CCL label, in addition to identifying other fish marketed through Docapesca, also includes the seal of origin “Peixe do Vouga”, which is used as a way of identifying fish which benefit from LIFE ÁGUEDA’s work.
On the forthcoming 27th, by 9:00 a.m. the pedestrian trail rehabilitated with the project works to allow for interpretation, awareness raising and use by people with reduced mobility will be presented to the public. Keep this date in the agenda and joint the team from Municipality of Águeda on this presentation.
Participation is free of charge. However, please do register through dv-as@cm-agueda.pt.
In September the European Mobility Week and the European Day without Cars are celebrated thorughout the EU. Our partner Municipality of Águeda has also scheduled some activities, which link to its target on some of project actions.

Biennial Symposium of the International Society for River Science
Data de inicio: 08/09/2019Data de fim: 13/09/2019
The 6th Biennial Symposium of the International Society for River Science will be held in Vienna, Austria, under the theme “Riverine landscapes as coupled socio-ecological systems”. The symposium serves as a wide platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences between science and practice.
The upcoming symposium will emphasise research related to the use and protection of water resources considering complex and large river systems. Topics, such as the structure (biological, chemical, and physical) and functioning of lotic ecosystems, will be addressed through disciplines contributing to the integrative field of river science. Amongst others, these comprise aquatic and floodplain ecology, monitoring of freshwater biodiversity, food web interactions, restoration of freshwater ecosystems, hydrologic connectivity, balancing human and ecological objectives, urban ecosystems, ecotoxicology, ecosystem management and ecosystem services.
The 2019 edition of the program "Águeda - Holidays in movement", a success event which gathers the young in Summer holiday periods in several activities is now ready to be deployed.
Following what was already the case in 2018, those with 6 to 14 years old living in Águeda can account with a set of nice activities designed and implemented with support of the LIFE ÁGUEDA project, which will allow to raise awareness about the project goals and activities.
The 5th International Conference on Fish Telemetry takes place this year in Arendal, Norway, on the 24th-28th of June 2019, gathering fellow telemetry enthusiasts from all over the world.
The third edition of the Iberian Congress on River Restoration, RESTAURARÍOS 2019 is organized by Centro Ibérico de Restauración Fluvial (CIREF) in coordination with Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura, having support from LIFE+ project RIPISILVANATURA, Wetlands International – European Association, Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica and the Ayuntamiento de Calasparra.
In RESTAURARÍOS 2019 you will be able to find a whole range of presentations coming from people and teams involved in river management, research and river planning, experts in river restoration, naturalists, volunteers for river conservation and, under a borader view, peopple interested and involved in the recovery of iberian rivers.
The International Year of the Salmon (IYS) is an international framework for collaborative outreach and research. Through outreach efforts the IYS will raise awareness of what humans can do to better ensure salmon and their varied habitats are conserved and restored against the backdrop of increasing environmental variability, and thus the overall theme is ‘salmon and people in a changing world‘. The IYS will stimulate an investment in research and leave a legacy of knowledge, data/information systems, tools, and a new generation of scientists better equipped to provide timely advice to inform rational management of salmon and build resilience for salmon and people.

Vth Symposium on Advances in the Population Ecology of Stream Salmonids
Data de inicio: 20/05/2019Data de fim: 25/05/2019
As in previous meetings, we attempt with this 5th Symposium to put together experts and colleagues interested in the "ecology of stream salmonids" based on the statements of previous meetings.
Considering the amount of research and management efforts that stream salmonids have received, it is legitimate and timely to ask whether the knowledge acquired to date is appropriate to understand their complex ecology and overwhelming diversity of life-history strategies and to offer solutions to the conservation issues faced by all countries where stream salmonids are present.
