Artur Furydna (TPRIIG/CCB/LIFEDrawaPL)
In this webinar, Artur Furdyna will introduces this project and reviews some of the actions implemented over the previous five years which have included:
Restoring ecological connectivity through barrier removals, including opening one of the oldest dams in the world (Kamienna Dam in Głusko) which has blocked the Drawa River 32 km from its mouth for 116 years.
Restoring natural riverbed morphological elements
Creating gravel and rocky bottom
Shading reduction for the reintroduced species
Constructing anti-erosive structures
Constructing spawning habitat for river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), European bullhead (Cottus gobio) and spined loach (Cobitis taenia).
Reducing the tourism pressure
Taking actions against poaching
Creating partnerships to protect river ecosystems.
Improvement in public awareness by education and information
The Joint Committee on Fisheries Engineering and Science hosts a free webinar series as part of its mission to engage scientists and engineers on topics related to fish passage. 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 to collaborate on projects related to fish passage.
