Vouga River, Protected river in Centro region, Portugal
The Vouga River extends through the districts of Aveiro and Viseu, featuring diverse ecosystems along its 60-kilometer course through central Portugal.
The inclusion of the Vouga River in the Natura 2000 network followed Portugal's implementation of European environmental protection directives in the late 20th century.
Local communities along the Vouga River maintain traditional fishing practices while participating in conservation efforts to protect the water quality and native species.
Visitors can access multiple entry points along the river for activities such as kayaking, hiking, and bird watching, with designated parking areas at main locations.
The river supports specific freshwater habitats that provide refuge for multiple endemic species, making it a priority site for European conservation efforts.
