Nasjonalt Villakssenter Tana - invites on behalf of several research projects to participate in research projects that will research the Tanavassdraget, and invites to an information meeting in Tanabru on Wednesday, September 4.

 

Joddu is engaged by UiT to coordinate contact between local communities along the Tanavassdraget and several research institutions that want to conduct research on topics that particularly involve local and traditional knowledge of the Tanavassdraget, in different ways and levels of research on the Tanavassdraget.

 At the information meeting you will get more info about :

1. The RecoSal research project, led by LUKE and involving NINA and UiT together with Umeå University, aims to bring together bearers of local, traditional and scientific knowledge and rights holders to plan together what can be done to protect and rebuild salmon stocks and salmon fishing culture along the Tana River and its tributaries.

2. The newly launched project "Sharing our knowledge", in which UiT is part of an international project focusing on climate risk in watercourses that are the basis of indigenous culture, is collaborating with DeanuInstituhtta and Joddu to identify the need for knowledge about climate risk.

We know that the organizations along the watercourse have valuable knowledge and insight, so we want to invite them to participate in these research projects.

 

We therefore invite knowledge carriers along the entire habitat of the Tanal axis from the coast to the upper tributaries to participate.

Non-binding information meeting at Villakssenteret in Tana on Wednesday, September 4.

Everyone is welcome!

A researcher from NIBIO updates us on this year's results from the hair traps that have been in use.

The State Governor of Troms and Finnmark and SNO will also attend the meeting.

The aim of the event is to disseminate results from this year's hair trap and check the mood for the continuation of the projects for next year, and perhaps we will get an answer to whether the bear has started eating pink salmon ....
