The new river is really taking shape now. The magnitude and scale of the landscape transformation are truly astonishing - a remarkable feat in multidisciplinary design and construction! https://t.co/lsiVuSdyyv

Goodbye, Anthropocene?... Hmm i think a lot of paleo folks may disagree here https://t.co/jTxsBh6lw6

Footage shows water being pumped into new stretch of river that will reshape Toronto’s waterfront

We still have a ways to go in terms of depth, but for the first time, it really looks like a real river!

[Dmitri Perlov @dperlov]

Very exciting to see the impressive progress transforming underutilized industrial lands to bring back much needed green spaces, habitats, and human connection to it all.

A new mouth for the Don River? It’s really happening. Check out the latest progress:

Look at all the recently hatched minnow fry spotted in the West Habitat Cove in the Port Lands! We built this cove to provide hospitable habitat for aquatic life, so seeing it function as a nursery is very good news!

@BugsrockT @SETAC_world Congratulations Trudy

Downtown Toronto fishy condos getting occupied! Love it! More fish condos (wetlands) coming up in the next couple of years.

It is amazing to see this transformation. Proud to be part of this amazing project!

[Toronto and Region Conservation Authority @TRCA_HQ]

It's FINtastic! Native fish love the new Cherry Street wetlands and aquatic habitat features!

TRCA captured this underwater video for @WaterfrontTO to assess if fish were using habitat created for the Don Mouth Naturalization & Port Lands Flood Protection Project

Building a wetland is very detailed work & each section is engineered to respond to its location. E.g. on the left, root wads will resist fast flowing water in a flood, but the opposite bank won't have to deal with the same amount of force, so we used a different material there.

More progress on the Elbow in #RockyRadar! I’ll post about it more soon but we found something pretty cool in the dark blue area.

#BridgeWatchTO: The east half of the Commissioners St. Bridge has reached Lake Ontario!

Thanks to Mark Seguljic who sent in these photos of the bridge as it passed through the Snell Lock yesterday.

@r_quinla @WaterfrontTO Havent checked twitter in a while lol. Not this portion, I was still with TRCA during the Cherry St Lakefilling. This is what im involved with currently:

Look at how the river valley has changed from May 2019 to July 2020. You can see the outline in both clips, but now we’ve dug 6m down & the banks are taking shape. We’ve also started adding soil to the park areas that will run along the river. #PortLands2024

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

[Toronto Remedial Action Plan (RAP) @RAP_Toronto]

Good morning Ontarians! The provincial government wants your feedback on Conservation Authorities. Take this survey at https://t.co/T1VO36XGwd

[Dmitri Perlov @dperlov]

This is critical for understanding impacts of multiple env stressors to design effective remedial programs and ultimately delist Toronto & region as an AOC in the Great Lakes.

[Dmitri Perlov @dperlov]

Thank you @RAP_Toronto for organizing these #paleolimnology talks last night by John Smol and @korosilab.

[Dmitri Perlov @dperlov]

Given the extent of restoration/construction work on Lake Ontario waterfront, its critical to understand historic natural variability within ecosystems. Paleolimnology can be a tool to fill gaps in monitoring data and provide data for systems where monitoring data does not exist.
