"CoSMos, the Salmon Odyssey" is an event offered on October 28, 2026, built around a direct question: salmon, long absent from certain waters, could they return? The format is lively, accessible, and designed to spark the curiosity of a broad audience.

The activity showcases salmon, a fish often referred to as "the king of the river." The guided experience explores what has led to the decline of the species — habitat degradation, migration barriers, water quality — and then examines the conditions for a sustainable comeback. The event emphasizes discovery and exchange: it is not a formal lecture, but a time for encountering a concrete ecological topic, where every visitor can ask their questions and leave with a few simple takeaways. Salmon, with their spectacular migrations between the sea and the river, offer an effective lens through which to understand the health of waterways and the conservation challenges surrounding them.

As with any event of this kind, it can take place indoors, outdoors, or along a designated trail. Wear comfortable shoes, dress for the season — in late October, evenings cool down quickly — and perhaps bring a notebook if you wish to jot down what strikes you. Exact schedules, duration, registration details, and any access restrictions are listed on the organizer's official website: a quick look before D-Day avoids any unpleasant surprises. Enjoy your outing.
