FishPass sounds like something a salmon has to have in order to use public transportation
Hopefully it will help stop the spread of invasive species.

Good news! Benson Weir Walkway is due to open on 1st April. The weir has been rebuilt with new radial gates, new fishpass and wider walkway between Preston Crowmarsh and Benson Lock for the #ThamesPath National Trail. #fingerpostfriday @ramblers.org.uk

In Traverse City today, we toured the nearly finished FishPass project downtown. Once completed, we will have the ability to sort native fish from harmful invasive species like sea lamprey in the Boardman/Ottaway River.

How do you stop a few specific species from entering a river while maintaining access for all the others? FishPass aims to do just that.

#Fishpass taking shape on the Boardman Ottaway River in Traverse City.
Enjoyed tour of #Fishpass yesterday. Removing barrier & water flowed over labyrinth weir for the first time! Shifting work to north side of river to begin work on fish-sorting channel. Visit www.glfc.org/fishpass.php for info & webcam views. Globally significant project here in Traverse City. Cool!

As dams come down, native fish are returning to their home waters. But invasive species are taking advantage of that same access. How do we separate native fish from undesirable ones?

Damn dams! Even with a good fishpass a dam will adversely affect creatures living there.
40 years of conservation efforts haven't saved the Yangtze River's most endangered fishes. That may be because dams are more of a problem than previously realized. That story and more of the best from Science and science in today's #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 🐟 🌋
