Restoring our Rivers – Removing Barriers to Fish Migration - a Café Scientifique event

The barriers that once enabled major industry along the UK’s longest river may pose problems for fish that need to migrate up and downstream. Researchers from Bournemouth University have investigated how these weirs, locks and other infrastructure affect fish migration along the River Severn - and what could happen if they were removed. Join us to find out how our rivers might be restored to let fish to swim freely once more.

At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience.
