The Dutch contribution to fish stocks in the Rhine is still not to write home about.. With the refusal to open the Haringvliet locks, we first trained the efforts of the Germans, Swiss and French for years to make the entire catchment area accessible to the salmon, eel and sturgeon.. It's time since the beginning of this year, but now we're catching all those free fish away before they can reach the lock.. To bring that to the attention.
German nature organizations angry: 'Salmon fished away from Haringvlietlocks. '
Today they are offering a petition in The Hague asking the House for action..
Their concerns relate to a European recovery programme to get salmon, eel and sturgeon back into European rivers.. In the late 1980s, millions of migratory fish were deployed in the Rhine, who had to swim back to their spawning soils in the rivers after their migration to sea.. On the Dutch coast, the plan stumbled because the fish hit the Delta Works there..
