🚨 NEW: Introducing America's Most Endangered Rivers® of 2024 This year is a call to action for clean water everywhere. Take action for these rivers today: mostendangeredrivers.org 📸 Rio Grande, NM | Geraint Smith
Recently, I've been musing on the subseasonal milestones that we observe each year in WNC. This was my first pass at listing them, what else am I missing?
Absolutely incredible to see the Klamath River revealing itself at former Lake Copco and Iron Gate Reservoir sites earlier today
American Rivers’ 2023 Impact Report is here! Check out the biggest river stories from our 50th anniversary year. americanrivers.org/impact2023/
Nothing restores a river like removing a dam. 💪 bit.ly/2UP03Tu
Over the last week I've seen a LOT of footage of flooding around the world. I thought I'd put them here in one place 🧵 #floods #ClimateEmergency #degrowth 1. Greece (1/13) x.com/us_stormwatch/…

Congratulations @Lovemussels !!
Congratulations @Lovemussels !!
Learning about river rhythmicity with @TropRiversLab to understand how humans relate to rivers… TL;DR it’s way more complex than wet season/dry season and differs markedly by culture bit.ly/3WNUr9Q #freshwaterdownunder #2023sfs
After the #freshwaterdownunder plenary tomorrow morning, come check out my talk about freshwater mussel decline — data, partnership, scicomm, hot takes on sediment! 11:15 am in Room M2 #sfs2023
Today, #SCOTUS’ dangerous decision in Sackett puts our waters at risk and poses unique harms for Indigenous communities, communities of color, and those most vulnerable to pollution and intensifying climate disasters. americanrivers.org/media-item/sup…

Gorgeous mussel content!! Watch the video!!
Yes, climate change is making all of our infrastructure more vulnerable to failure, including dams. But it's so much more than that. How am I learning just now that hydropower isn't nearly as clean as once thought? My latest report may surprise you. 1/ insideclimatenews.org/news/15052023/…
Good news! "Ela Dam Removal Coalition secured $4M IN FUNDING from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as an initial payment to commence deconstruction of the Ela dam in Western North Carolina." americanrivers.org/media-item/ame…

“Reciprocity is necessary and missing in western management.” — Eric Quaempts at #FMCS opening plenary on how First Foods management promotes reciprocity and restoration of diverse aquatic communities
I stand with @americanrivers in the removal of the Ela dam and hope you will, too. Thank you to the @USFWS and @SecDebHaaland for considering funding for this amazing project. Let’s restore the Oconaluftee River to its natural condition and help the recovery of fish & wildlife!

YES! Caught the opossum again gathering leaves for his burrow. Opossums grab the leaves with their mouths, then pass them back to the front legs, then to the back legs, then to the tail! They use the tail to carry stuff! this is why we leave the leaves 🥹.
Some freshwater mussels release their babies (called glochidia) in clumps (called conglutinates). The conglutinates are released in the water and mimic a prey item of a host fish. If you look really close you will see the tiny glochidia inside the conglutinate! Nature is awesome!
Another dam story (ba dum shhh). Met up with @americanrivers last week to talk about this project in Canton that reconnects 30 miles of stream to the main stem of the Pigeon River. The tiny dam was a relic of a grist mill that used to operate there. smokymountainnews.com/outdoors/item/…
