Tulcea, May 6-10, 2025 - Tulcea hosted the fifth General Assembly of the European project Danube Wetlands Restoration (DAWetRest), an initiative dedicated to restoring wetlands and floodplains along the Danube.

The event was attended by partner organizations from several European countries, together with representatives of public authorities, research institutions, environmental NGOs and other actors involved in the management of natural resources and wetlands.
During the fifth General Assembly, participants reviewed the progress of restoration activities in the demonstration sites and the involvement of local communities in the restoration process. They also set long-term goals and planned how to implement future activities to achieve these goals.
This came as a result of the participants' attendance at workshops and field visits, where they had the opportunity to study the results of the restoration interventions.
