The Mora Fluviarium, through its Animal Experimentation Room, has launched the scientific project ECO.Dams, focused on optimizing ecological flows in hydroelectric dams.

The project ECO.Dams – Optimization of Ecological Flows in Hydroelectric Dams for the Promotion of Ecosystem Services Associated with Fish Fauna, coordinated by MARE/University of Évora, aims to contribute to more sustainable management of ecological flows in hydroelectric dams. The goal is to promote the conservation of fish and the ecosystem services associated with riverine environments.
With this new research, the Mora Fluviarium reinforces its role in scientific investigation and the conservation of aquatic ecosystems, putting science at the service of biodiversity. The initiative promises 'More science, more knowledge, healthier rivers!'.
The ECO.Dams project is funded by the COMPETE 2030 Programme, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
