Happy to have participated in the conference Free Flow 2024 in Groningen. I met many cool people working in dam removals that I could learn from and got the chance to present a poster. Understanding how to prioritize barriers would help to restore our rivers!

Mans uzvārds dod man īpašas tiesības par šo izteikties: laiks mums LV arī nopietni un plaši šim beidzot pieķerties! Iespējas ir! #freeflowconference#parLieluLieloJuglu
The Dam Removal Movement is breaking #barriers and #records! 💥
In 2023, almost 500 barriers were removed in Europe, hitting an all-time high!

Great couple of days at the #FreeFlowConference this week, presenting some of the latest research from my PhD on fish movement! Analysing fish movement then using results to predict spatial usage near a hydropower plant🐟
Presentem "Restoration of fish migration and beginning of a
European sturgeon recovery project in the lower Ebre River
(Catalonia) and beyond" @migratoebre a #FreeFlowConference de @fishmigration, congrés internacional sobre protecció i restauració dels rius sense obstacles
Second stop of the ##FreeFlowConference/ ##SwimCon24 excursion. The old fish trap at Sterrebos was still too much of a barrier for most species. So in 2018 @Noorderzijlvest created a bypass.
Reflecting on an incredible first day at the #FreeFlowConference! 🌟 Engaging talks, vibrant networking and #Dambusters screening. Relive some highlights of day 1 and get some good rest for tomorrow! 📸✨
What a day! From inspiring presentations and yoga sessions to the latest news on #riverrestoration 🙌
Check the key moments from Day 2 of #FreeFlowConference.
Stay tuned for the #DamRemovalAward2023 ceremony later and get ready for the party! 🎉
Join us at #FreeFlowConference in Groningen, The Netherlands, until April 17! Chat with Andre and Amy at our booth to learn how our acoustic telemetry solutions can be used for your next research project.
How can the hydropower sector be supported to help remove barriers from across Europe’s river networks?
SEGS’s Esther Carmen (@EstherCarmen5) is at the #FreeFlowConference this week, presenting on this topic from the lens of nature-based solutions, with the @euMERLINproject.
The last keynote speaker, Jeffrey Duda, @USGS research ecologist, hit the stage with a presentation on "Science and #damremoval: Lessons learned from local to continental scales".

Amelie Huber (@EuroNaturORG) at #FreeFlowConference: "Europe's most pristine free-flowing rivers in Western #Balkans are threatened by destructive hydropower development & authorities' failure to implement #EU environmental laws. EU accession must ensure environmental democracy."
