Tributaries that were affected by fragmentation and channelization during the timber-floating era will be restored with the objective to widen the floodplain, increase the variation in the stream habitats, and to improve the condition for species in the Vindel river system. The Vindel river provides a unique habitat for a variety of aquatic species and many of them are listed as protected species. Otter, great diving beetle, bullhead, Atlantic Salmon, Salmon Trutta and freshwater pearl mussel are all present in the stream. The length of the restored area is 4500 meters. During the restoration banks have been modified, closed channels re-opened, spawning grounds constructed and building fishways have been taken away to improve the habitats for migratory fish. Ten demonstration sites were restored in 2010. By monitoring these restored sites and their references, the effects of restoration will be evaluated: hydrological measurements were done before restoration and after restoration in 2011; fish abundance was monitored before restoration and the after measurements will be done in summer 2013 and 2014; the riparian vegetation will be monitored after restoration in summer 2013 and 2014. Remediation of Migratory Barriers in streams (ReMiBar) -project is related to the Vindel River LIFE project.
