About this event
Did you know that riverine barriers, such as dams, weirs and culverts have detrimental effects on fluvial ecosystems, like blocking the migration routes of fish species? In Europe alone there are more than 1,000,000 barriers, and this number is only expected to grow due to climate change.
The Free Flow webinar will present ways to protect rivers and restore their longitudinal connectivity. It will demonstrate how dam removal can be applied to reach the European biodiversity target of restoring 25,000km of rivers. This exciting and informative session will include keynote presentations, short interviews, polls, live interviews from the field and even live music!
