We invite you to attend the 4th Dam Removal Europe International Seminar which will be held in the city of Pärnu (Estonia). This is where the biggest river basin opening (3,300 km of rivers and streams) is happening thanks to a dam removal project (the Sindi Dam removal).
For this occasion, the Dam Removal Partnership is working with the Environment Agency of Estonia who has helped to organize a special programme with international presentations on the first day (22nd May 2019) and two unique field trips on the second day (23rd May 2019) to the Sindi Dam and Purtse River. We are happy to make this event as a part of the Year of the Salmon because the Parnu River, where the dam removal is taking place, is the biggest historical salmon river in the country.
The registration fee includes: lunch (2x), coffee/tea, and 1 dinner (incl 3 drink tickets).
On the first day:
The Environment Agency of Estonia will present the dam removal strategy for their country and the dams removed until now. Our special guest Bob Irvin, president of American Rivers, will present the current status and the future of dam removals in USA. We will learn about the dam removal situation in Finland and Denmark and we will hear three special dam removal cases from Sweden, Finland and Spain. There will also be a round table discussion.
