Seattle City Light is set to spend millions on fish passage, habitat restoration, and compensation to tribes in the coming decades after the city’s leaders greenlit a massive agreement concerning its dams on the upper Skagit River on Tuesday, April 7.

There are two #masony #dams which hold the water in and here is the view looking south from the western dam.

IIIF Consortium Apr 1

If you are a product manager, technical lead, or an employee of a company that offer DAM systems, the #IIIF Consortium is conducting a survey to better understand how Digital Asset Management System (#DAMS) providers support the IIIF APIs.

IIIF DAMS Landscape Survey

The IIIF Consortium is conducting this survey to better understand how Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) providers currently support the IIIF APIs and how that support may evolve in the future. Your participation will help us draw a clear picture of the ecosystem and help us to support potential IIIF adopters in their search for IIIF-enabled products. This survey is intended for product managers, technical leads, or other employees of companies that offer DAM systems.

“Rivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
A new [Cornell] project… will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years…”

🦫🌊 By building #dams and creating #wetlands, #beavers slow down #water and bury organic material in thick sediment.

This natural process prevents #carbon from entering the #atmosphere, turning beaver #ponds into long-term #carbon sinks that help regulate the local #environment.

A secret weapon to fight carbon emissions was just discovered: Beavers

A new study in Switzerland finds that beaver-built wetlands can trap and store large amounts of carbon, offering a low-cost boost for restoration and climate resilience.
