HELCOM - 13. spotkanie Grupy ds. Zrównoważonych Praktyk Rolniczych

The Transboundary Daugava river rafting/kayaking expedition took place on 14 to 17th May, 2019 on river Daugava (close to Belarus/Latvia border).

The expedition was organised by “Environmental Protection Club of Latvia” and Association “Green Belt of Latvia” within Project "Healthy River - Healthy Me - Healthy Sea: Joint actions for common challenges".

The aim of the rafting tour was to share knowledge and promote water protection in the Baltic Sea region and look for establishment of a joint transboundary Public
Advisory River Teams (PART) in order to:

• facilitate engagement of public and civil society into decision making related to water management issues;


• enhance capacities of public River-Watch monitoring practices to provide data and information that can be used for management purposes;


• develop recommendations and proposals regarding state of abiotic and biotic components of river basins.
