Wolfratshausen: Fish are losing habitats - this is how fishermen want to help
The district fishing association declares war on the loss of habitat and the deteriorating quality.
"In close collaboration with the Bavarian fishing associations and authorities as well as the landlords", the Wolfratshauser want to achieve improvements.
"It should be mentioned here that through the consistent commitment of the board and committed members of the association together with the Bavarian State Fisheries Association in the approval of the additional water extraction from the Loisach at the Weidach power plant for the construction of the Wolfratshausen surf wave, extensive official requirements were achieved in favor of the local fish population", reports Holzheu.

In addition, at the request of the association, the Weilheim water management authority included a de-landfall of the Loisach-Altwassers near Beuerberg in the construction program.
"Here, the former Loisach arm, which is threatened with silting, is to be desludged in favor of the fish population and its connection to the river is to be preserved", the chairman explains the measure.
