Description:
Rivers are restored for numerous reasons: environmental, recreational, and/or for aesthetics. Recently, however, new scholarship is emerging that engages with the confluence of river restoration and environmental justice. Much of this literature is based on, but not limited to, urban river restoration where restoration is occurring to combat years of segregation, redlining, industrialization, and political marginalization. But river restoration is also done for community health and empowerment, enhancing local stewardship, promoting citizen science programs, and, in the case of dam removals, for example, as broader elements of a restorative justice for long neglected tribal fishing rights and/or for re-imagining the spiritual value of free flowing rivers with intact migratory runs of anadromous fish.
