RIBES FINAL CONFERENCE - FISH PASSAGE AND CONSERVATION
RIBES is a European Training Network in ecohydraulics working to find solutions for fish protection and river connectivity restoration in anthropogenically altered rivers.
RIBES Final Conference "Fish passage and Conservation" was organized on 28-29 September 2023 at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). During the conference a series of topical keynotes, early-stage researcher presentations and a similarly themed theater show was given. A selection of presentations and glimpses from the theatre are now being made available online.
