From 30th to 1st June, Sudoang project participants met in Lisboa (PT). 

Fifty representatives of 28 entities gathering fishermen, natural areas managers and scientific entities from France, Spain and Portugal attended the project launch meeting whose objective was to provide joint assessment instruments and eels management tools to Sudoe area actors.

Furthermore, in addition to the planification of tasks and calendar for next year, this meeting included the presentation of study basins and several workshops on governance, illicit trafic and commerce contrôle which launched some interesting debates.  Other workshops, more technical, focused on data collection, sampler capture and release techniques.

During the lunch, all the partners had the opportunity to meet each others and consolidate the team for future activities.
