Since 2003, the Prix Charles Ritz has rewarded field-based initiatives protecting the rivers.
Such an award improves the reputation of fishermen & their organisations.
This award encourages the field specialists that we are to continue our work for the preservation & restoration of the fario trout’s host biotopes.
This award allowed us to launch a major operation on the whole watercourse of the “ruisseau du Pas d’Ânes “.
PROJECT: Improving a water course as densely urban as Bradford Beck may not have the dramatic turn arounds of some Prix Charles Ritz Award applicants. Bradford Beck remains a “poor” watercourse and volunteers found 33 separate pollution incidents at 14 sites over 6 months.
