The Season 2 opener is a little off the beaten path for this Florida guy, but Steve was a lot of fun to talk with and get his perspective on a topic that has some bearing on those of us who care about places like Apalachicola River and Bay.
Season 2 opener: @b_cyphers & Steven Hawley discuss his new book (Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Chaotic World); the mythology surrounding the benefits of many of the world's dams; restoring once-dammed rivers; & cautious optimism for the future https://t.co/xocYyHDRzs
This program has flown beneath the radar for years but is huge for storm recovery and general forestry management. Well done @NWFWMD and many thanks to @jaytrumbull@ben_albritton and @JosieTomkow for making the day possible https://t.co/iRFYF1WvWE
