The Koskenkylänjoki River is located in south-east of Finland and it runs into The Gulf of Finland. The River was restored year 2006. Restorations were done as the aim of improving the River for migratory fish. Nature-like fishways were constructed and breeding habitats were created by adding stone and grave material into the river bed.
