SUMMARY:Webinar: Why we should remove the Watertown Dam
DESCRIPTION:Did you know\, each spring\, thousands of migratory fish return
  to the Charles river to spawn in the lakes\, ponds\, and tributaries? Acr
 oss Massachusetts\, there is a growing movement to remove aging\, defunct 
 mill dams and restore free-flowing\, climate-resilient rivers. There are n
 umerous benefits and considerations to dam removal\, including reinstating
  migratory fish passage\, restoring the ecosystem\, and protecting downstr
 eam communities from caastrophic flooding. Join us for a webinar talking a
 bout this  extraordinary migration and learn why we should remove the Wat
 ertown Dam to restore the ecosystem.\nSpeakers include Lisa Kumpf and Robe
 rt Kearns. Lisa is the River Science and Restoration Program Manager at Ch
 arles River Watershed Association (CRWA)\, where she oversees the water qu
 ality monitoring programs. Her vision for the River Science program is to 
 collect reliable water quality data that is both communicated clearly with
  the public and used to support CRWA’s advocacy goals. Lisa received her
  B.S. in Geology in 2013 from UMass Amherst\, and conducted her graduate r
 esearch at Boston College.\nRobert serves as CRWA’s Climate Resilience S
 pecialist and works with the team to implement Climate Resilience 101 virt
 ual training sessions for local officials\, helps manage the Charles River
  Climate Compact\, and works to further the organization’s advocacy and 
 community engagement goals. Prior to joining CRWA\, Robert served as Youth
  Education and Community Engagement Coordinator with Mass Audubon’s Tidm
 arsh Wildlife Sanctuary through the Americorps program\, TerraCorps. Rober
 t holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University
