Concerned Citizens
In 1965, the citizens living in Niagara Falls, New York were concerned that the deposit of talus was negatively affecting the charm of the Falls. An article was published in the Niagara Falls Gazette newspaper stating that the Falls may soon be eradicated because of erosion.
Campaign To Save The Falls
That’s when both American and Canadian authorities began a campaign to save Niagara Falls. They turned to the IJC, which is the International Joint Commission, to examine regulations regarding shared waters. In the meantime, they launched a temporary operation to eliminate any detritus.
