The “Restoration of wildlife corridor in the Łupawa River by constructing a fish ladder” project, as its very name suggests, was mainly aimed at constructing a fish ladder at the Smołdzino barrage, along with accompanying infrastructure. The latter includes a biometric fish monitoring station and an electric barrier.

The LIFENaturaSlowinskaPL project was launched in early January 2015. In this context, 2 January 2015 can be considered the official date when the Project Team began preparations for investment implementation. However, arrangement procedures for fish ladder construction, involving Energa OZE S.A. as the land owner, had started much earlier, and so had the development of the investment concept.
