ELW (European eel workshop)

The European Eel Workshop (ELW) is a collaborative event focused on the conservation, research, and management of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla). It brings together scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss challenges like declining eel populations, habitat loss, and harmful fishing practices. The workshop aims to share knowledge, develop sustainable strategies, and promote coordinated efforts across countries to protect this unique species, which has a complex life cycle involving migration between freshwater and marine environments. Ultimately, ELW supports efforts to recover eel populations and ensure their long-term survival.
