When the Edwards Dam was breached in 1999, fish were jumping, sediment was moving, it was breathtaking. But more dams still block Atlantic Salmon's passage to the cooler, higher-elevation waters they need. Murray's story captures current heroic efforts and hope. #RiverRestoration #FreeFlowingRivers

🐟 Finding the right spawning substrate is key for fish reproduction.
WWF Slovakia and with local anglers collected riverbed samples and data to understand spawning habitats and support migratory fish in the Danube basin.

The Vistula River by Marek Elas
🌊 The #E40Waterway with its Włocławek and proposed Siarzewo dams threatens to fragment the Vistula river further.
The #NatureRestorationLaw offers a chance to protect and restore these waters instead of compounding the damage. #Stop_E40 #FreeFlowingRivers

The Vistula river by Marek Elas
🌊 The #NatureRestorationLaw’s goal of restoring 25,000 km of rivers to a free-flowing state by 2030 is at odds with projects like the Siarzewo dam in 🇵🇱. Let’s focus on restoration, not more barriers that harm rivers and ecosystems. #Stop_E40 #FreeFlowingRivers

One year ago, the EU adopted the #NatureRestorationLaw—a historic chance to heal rivers. Yet Poland’s Siarzewo dam, part of the #E40Waterway, push the opposite direction. Restoring nature starts with stopping new barriers.

Flüsse als Lebensraum und "blau-grüne Infrastruktur" oder nur als Abwasserkanal?
Gerade nach den letzten schrecklichen Bränden in Los Angeles sollte man sich das wieder überlegen. #RestoreNature #Biodiversität #ForNatureandPeople #FreeflowingRivers open.spotify.com/episode/35Q2...

Weirs are bad for rivers. They interrupt the flow of water and sediment making them less resilient and able to support our iconic species. Important discussions to be had here on how to restore that connectivity #rivers #freeflowingrivers #fishmigration #connectivity #wildatlanticsalmon

"The study’s researchers identified 434 dams that have either been built or are currently under construction across the whole of the #AmazonBasin, and a further 463 proposed dams" #FreeFlowingRivers #Rivers #RiverDolphins #DamRemoval #MigratoryFish
