Boat excursion of restored parts of the Danube branch system
At the beginning of May, as part of a project with the financial support of the Tipsport Foundation, we organized an educational excursion in the form of a boat trip for students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Comenius University. The students had the opportunity to float the restored sections of the river branches, learn more about the problem of simulated floods and get to know the fauna and flora of the Danube floodplain forests more closely. They also had the opportunity to observe ongoing ichthyomonitoring, which aims to determine the impact of restoration measures on fish populations.
We focus on natural science students as potential future workers in the field of nature and landscape protection. Our goal is to increase their interest in the theme of water restoration in connection with the solution to the climate crisis and a greater understanding of the context.
