The EDP Foundation collaborates in the release of 20,000 trout fry into the Narcea River

Users of the Integration Support Centre (Centro de Apoyo a la Integración -CAI) of Penlés took part today in the release of trout fry into the Narcea River. The activity took place in the Parque de Los Nogales area, in Cangas del Narcea, and was organized by the EDP Foundation and the Fuentes del Narcea Fishermen's Association. In total, around 20,000 trout fry were released.

During the day, members of the Fishermen's Association taught the students about the features of the trout, their life cycle, and the importance of these actions for the conservation of the river ecosystem.

The association's president, Román Herrero, emphasised that ‘repopulation activities are essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the continuity of native species’.

For his part, the executive director of the EDP Foundation, Juan García-Ovies, pointed out that ‘this activity combines two fundamental commitments for the EDP Foundation: taking care of the natural environment and promoting social inclusion’.

The Fuentes del Narcea Fishermen's Association takes part in the restocking of Asturian rivers in compliance with the calendar set by the Regional Ministry of Rural Affairs and Territorial Cohesion. For more than two decades it has enjoyed the collaboration of the EDP Foundation, whose commitment to fish restocking extends to other rivers in Asturias.
