RoundGoby kicks off in Riga
16 February 2024
Project partners discussed and aligned upcoming activities and objectives, embarking a three year project journey with lots of motivation and energy.
The partners then jumped on a bus to Liepaja to commence the project’s first study tour. During the stakeholder meeting, project partners and representatives from the Latvian fisher community discussed the ecological and econmic benefits of fishing Round Goby and what lies ahead in the coming months.
The study tour wrapped up with a visit to the fishermen village of JÅ«rmalciems where local fishers showed and explained what kind of nets they used to catch Round Goby – valuable information for the project’s test fishing phase which starts this spring.
