The Municipality of Arcos de Valdevez hosted, on October 22 and 23, a monitoring meeting for the European project LIFE REVIVE, which included an experimental trout release in the Vez river.

The initiative brought together the various partners involved in the project's implementation and an external monitor, aiming to assess progress and define priorities for the project's upcoming phases.
A highlight was the release of trout into the Vez river, following a period of acclimatization at the Riparian Ecosystem Recovery Centre (CRER) in Campelo, Figueiró dos Vinhos. The action involved the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) and the Vez Sport Fishing Association (APdVez).
The technical visit continued in Ponte de Lima on October 23, allowing for the evaluation of activities. Arcos de Valdevez's participation in LIFE REVIVE reinforces its commitment to aquatic biodiversity conservation and river ecosystem recovery.
The LIFE REVIVE project represents a total investment of €6,507,163.27, co-financed by the European Union. Arcos de Valdevez Municipality has a financial allocation of €524,095.63, with €314,457.38 from European funding.
