What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Policy governing dam construction in the Loire was reversed on September 23, 2026. Historically, dam removals on the Loire’s largest tributary, the Allier, and on the Vienne were undertaken in 1998 and 1999 to allow migratory fish to return to spawning grounds.
