Went to Bronx & Harlem Rivers Urban Waters Federal Partnership (UWFP) Quarterly Meeting.held by #BCEQ.org (The Bronx Council for Environmental Quality) at Manhattan College. Learned many things. One is that #BronxRiver dams will be evaluated for sustainability of #fishPassageway. Also some org has taken sediment cores. The dual dam in #BronxZoo may come down anyway. Pinch points may cause Bronx River to flood.

@memory Curious where you paddled. I'm suggesting a paddle using kayaks for #HarborLab with the #BronxRiverAlliance or maybe #RockTheBoat and I realize there are really two parts. North of the #BronxZoo dams and south unless you walk the canoes past those dams. What organization did the paddle?

@memory The #BronxRiver dams exist to provide selfie backdrops for the #BronxZoo and #NewYorkBotanicalGarden. The #WCF #WidllifeConservationFund which runs the #BronxZoo and #NYAquarium should lead the way on this but has been mum.

A story about a small concrete dam being removed in Northern California to restore habitat to #eels and other fishes.
Do not know why this cannot be applied to the many dams on the #BronxRiver.
