Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Project "Restoration of habitats in Pärnu river" is carried out in 2015-2023 by the Environment Agency of Estonia. This project is objected to restore habitats in Pärnu river and river basin. One of project main activity is to remove Sindi Dam, which blocks the fish migration 14 km from the sea. Excisting fishpass does not work, so almost 7000 sq km of river is blocked for the fish coming from the sea.
