The project will last four years, until the end of 2024, and will see the Lombardy Region engaged as the leader and numerous other bodies its partners in this adventure from Italy Regione Emilia-Romagna, Parco Delta del Po Veneto, Parco Delta del Po Emiliano, Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino, the Universities of Bologna and Ferrara, the company GRAIA srl and from Greece the Fisheries Research Institute of the Hellenic Agricultural Organisation (ELGO “DIMITRA”).
