Tagging research on eels in Belgium

The European eel is one of the most mysterious species of fish in the world. Their migration and spawning life cycles are one of nature’s greatest unsolved mysteries. Today commercial fishing, pumping plants, dams, weirs, hydropower stations and habitat pollution pose the biggest threat to the eel’s survival, making it a critically endangered species. Watch this video and find out more about tagging research on eel in Belgium. Coordination: Karen Rappé and Pieterjan Verhelst, Animation Steve Bridger, Voice: Bryan Kopta (EN), Production: LifeWatch Belgium, Executive producer: VLIZ Oostende – Belgium.

Emiliano Carico. Il progetto, realizzato in collaborazione con LifeWatch ERIC, il consorzio per un’infrastruttura europea di e-Science e Tecnologia per la ricerca sulla biodiversità e gli ecosistemi, è stato presentato al Prix Italia 2022 “Sustainable Me”, il 74° Concorso internazionale per Radio, TV e Web della Rai. Il video si è aggiudicato il premio YLab Prix Italia 2022 sezione “Miglior progetto comunicativo – mediatico”. Protagonista del video è il granchio blu, Callinectes sapidus, specie aliena invasiva molto diffusa nel Mediterraneo, che sta progressivamente sostituendo le specie autoctone, modificando gli equilibri dei nostri ecosistemi marini.

The Stork Nest of Drago and Draga

The stork family of Drago and Draga has been observed since 2019, from the laying of eggs, the hatching of the young, and the dedicated care of the parents for them.
We invite you to follow the BSPB’s Facebook page: @BSPBirds and the Instagram profile: birds.bg, where you can contact us if you have any questions.

The installation of the two cameras is part of the measures for the protection of the White stork under the LIFE project “LIFE BIRDS ON POWER LINES”, implemented by Electrodistribution Grid West ЕAD in partnership with the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds. Observations of the life of the stork families provide valuable information about the biology and ecology of the species, which will be necessary for planning future activities for its conservation.

LIFE16/NAT/BG/000612. For more information, visit: www.lifebirds.eu
Due to technical reasons beyond our control, the cameras often interrupt, for which we apologize. We always react as quickly as possible to fix problems.
