VORTRAG | Der Rhein im Jahre 2024
In the organizer's words:
The return of the migratory fish
At the end of the 1970s, the Rhine was a dead river. Too much sewage and chemical spills had completely poisoned it. In 1950, there was still a large and flourishing fishing industry on its banks. Large shoals of migratory fish swam up the Rhine every year until they died out along with all the other fish. When the Rhine was at its worst, the "Salmon 2000" project was launched. The river was to be so clean again that salmon would be able to live in it in the year 2000. This goal was achieved and today not only the salmon have returned to the Rhine, but also 12 other migratory fish. Ten German and Dutch organizations are working together on the "The Rhine Connects" project (2023-2026) for a healthy, green and vibrant Rhine. There is also the sub-project "The Healthy Rhine", which is working on problems such as plastic waste in the Rhine, injury to fish caused by shipping and the return of the last migratory fish - such as the sturgeon.
