We are reaching out to remind you to register for this event. With over 800 confirmed attendees to date, don’t miss this opportunity as the AMBER project unveils Europe’s first map of river barriers and what that means for the state of our rivers.
This webinar will include presentations from the AMBER and FIThydro projects with 12 speakers from around Europe who will discuss river fragmentation and better ways to manage and mitigate barrier impacts. The program is structured around facilitated discussions on three pressing topics: 1) the need to reconnect rivers; 2) the innovations, the tools, and solutions available for better barrier management and 3) the applications, a framework for reconnecting Europe’s rivers.
