2025 Webinar Series
Restoring Fish Passage on the St. Croix River:
Engineering and Ecological Perspectives
Thanks to recent and ongoing efforts to improve passage at all three sites, the river’s potential may soon be realized. These initiatives, led and supported by a broad coalition of partners, resource agencies, and stakeholders on both sides of the border, encompass a wide range of strategies tailored to the unique constraints and engineering challenges of each site.
Join our speakers from Inter-Fluve and Verdantas Flow Labs (formerly Alden) Wednesday, October 1 at 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time for a webinar to discuss the 2024 dam removal and channel restoration at Milltown, the recently completed design of technical upstream and downstream passage measures at Woodland, and the ongoing design of an innovative, 4,000-foot-long nature-like bypass fishway at Grand Falls. Together, the projects hold cultural significance, reconnecting the Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) people with historic riverscapes and sea-run fish populations, and reaffirming the river’s legacy as a key ecological corridor in the region.

Past Webinars and Resources

The Joint Committee on Fisheries Engineering and Science is hosting this free webinar series as part of its mission to engage scientists and engineers on topics related to fish passage. Please feel free to share this with others who might be interested. The Committee consists of members of the American Fisheries Society Bioengineering Section (AFS-BES) and the American Society of Civil Engineers Environmental and Water Resources Institute (ASCE-EWRI). It was established in January 2011 to foster communication between the two groups, provide opportunities for engineers and biologists to share relevant knowledge and learn from one another, and collaborate on projects related to fish passage.
