Monstur

The core objective of the MonStur project is to foster institutional collaboration in establishing a legal framework and methodology for monitoring and conserving sturgeon populations in the Danube River, as it is one of their most significant freshwater habitats at both the European and global levels. These fish are highly endangered worldwide, primarily due to overfishing for their prized meat and roe, as well as the fragmentation of river continuity caused by the construction of hydroelectric dams, which prevent their upstream migration for spawning.
