Since 1982, and in accordance with the provisions of the EDF/Environment Ministry/Energy State Secretariat agreement, EDF contributed to the national effort made to re-establish migrating fish populations, by providing measures intended to facilitate the crossing of a certain number of dikes. Currently, many undertakings have been completed. Amongst the main ones are those at Belleville in the Loire, at Bergerac in the Dordogne, at Poutes in the Haut- Allier and the fish lift in the Garonne and whose downstream part is currently in operation. Some research and follow-up activities concerning the effectiveness of these works are also being carried out.
