Several hydropower plants on just one river section can = total loss of fish species. That’s according to Germany’s leading freshwater research institute @LeibnizIGB 👉 https://t.co/dTuQGeAwbU MEPs, are you listening to the science? #EP4WFD

The EU should not give subsidies for new #dams. They are obstacles preventing #Migratoryfish to reach their spawning grounds! More than 150 NGOs united their voice against new #hydropower dams, @AnglersAlliance being one of them: https://t.co/hHD0kJ7pLj #EP4WFD #Letitflow
