There is a 7 page thread on this topic on PlanetCatfish folks should find interesting. It Includes a map showing what will happen to the river. Its enough to make one cry. A lot of plecos will be wiped out and a lot of indiginous people we be displaced. The map also shows all the know collection points for zebras.
