Business trip report, Slovakia – preparation of the Action Plan for Sturgeons in Slovakia

On March 4, 2026, a meeting was held to prepare the Action Plan for Sturgeons in Slovakia, which will be part of the new Pan-European Action Plan for Sturgeons (PANEUAP) prepared under the auspices of the European Commission, respectively the Danubian Sturgeon Task Force. Representatives of many Slovak organizations and water users participated in the activities. Bořek Drozd participated on behalf of FFPW USB and presented the current status of the activities related to sturgeons addressed within the integrated LIFE project Living Rivers (101069837/LIFE21-IPE-SK-Living Rivers). During a very long and fruitful discussion, nearly 70 objectives of the new PANEUAP were discussed, and their relevance and feasibility in the conditions of the Slovak Republic were assessed. Work on the document will continue over the next few years.
