Visdoorgangen - Fish passage places in Flanders, Belgium

Citation

Buysse D (2015). Visdoorgangen - Fish passage places in Flanders, Belgium. Version 15.2. Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/92ylpd accessed via GBIF.org on 2018-06-21.

Description

Migration of fish in streams and rivers is prevented by various structures (mills, weirs, locks, …). To make the migration of those fish species possible again, various projects are realized in Flanders. This dataset contains information on the functioning of the fish passages. To allow anyone to use this dataset, we have released the data to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). We would appreciate however, if you read and follow these norms for data use (http://www.inbo.be/en/norms-for-data-use) and provide a link to the original dataset (https://doi.org/10.15468/92ylpd) whenever possible. If you use these data for a scientific paper, please cite the dataset following the applicable citation norms and/or consider us for co-authorship.
