The project aims to produce well-being for people living in the Koillismaa and Karelia regions in Finland and Russia by ensuring sustainable use and healthy status of the migratory brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations in the Oulanka River system. The goal will be achieved by developing, through collaboration of Finnish and Russian stakeholders, a model for the joint management of the trout populations. The project’s main activities will strengthen the scientific knowledge, stakeholder co-operation and public awareness regarding the Oulanka River trout, all of which are critical components of successful long-term fishery management.
