Description: Scope/Content: Abstract: The decommissioning and removal of dams has emerged as one of the central foci of recent decades and the new millennium for infrastructure management, river conservation, and the restoration of fisheries populations (AIBS, 2002; Heinz Center, 2002), particularly those of anadromous and catadromous species (Figure 1). It represents arguably the most powerful tool and largest opportunity for restoration of aquatic ecosystems and communities that currently exists.
