The International Conference on River Connectivity has been held internationally since 2011 to bring together topic experts, managers, stakeholders, and companies from around the world to discuss and address challenges in fish passage through the lens of engineering, biology, management, and society. At this conference, attendees can increase research opportunities, connect with future collaborators, and promote professional networking in the field of fish passage.
