Description: Scope/Content: Abstract: This report details recommendations that resulted from a unique gathering of more than 40 resource professionals, conservationists, and academics from across the Great Lakes region. Each of the participants brought experience with river and fisheries restoration, dam removal, or both. As a group the participants represented 3 countries, 7,states, and 1 province, had 100 years combined dam removal experience, and removed over 100 dams. The workshop and working meeting were held in Kohler, Wisconsin in April 2001. The purpose of the meeting was to share information about small dam removal in the Great Lake states where half of the 500 dam removals in the U.S. have taken place, and to develop these recommendations. The recommendations are intended to guide policies and initiatives to improve the understanding and practice of small dam removal as a fisheries and river restoration method in the region. This report specifically addresses recommendations for 1)facilitating adaptive management, 2)project monitoring, 3)research initiatives, and 4)community outreach.
