Researchers found that 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 in groups navigate velocity barriers faster & with less energy than solo fish. Designing fish passages for collective navigation could enhance migration success for many species! #fishpassage #collectivenavigation #FishSci #JFB doi.org/10.1111/jfb.70040
This isn’t just ecology, it’s policy. Oregon’s upper basin is deeply tied to agriculture. Water capture is vital to farming communities. But that need has to be balanced with another: keeping fishways open and rivers connected. #WaterRights #Klamath #AgVsFish #FishPassage
We’re proud to partner with American Rivers

#Fishpassage at #hydropower plants is a reminder of what we can do when we integrate ecological restoration with infrastructure development. In order to sustainably achieve the #OurPowerOurPlanet goal of tripling renewables by 2030, we need to design #renewables that also protect #biodiversity.
Our #engineering team has developed proprietary simulation tools that allow us to accurately model #fishpassage survival as we create #turbine designs for specific plants, & in real-world studies, #FishSafe turbines have demonstrated 98-100% through-turbine survival for fish passing downstream.
Modernizing with better downstream #fishpassage solutions, like Natel's #FishSafe turbines, allows #hydropower plants to reconnect #rivers and support #aquatic #biodiversity, while also helping to meet increasing electricity demands with emission-free, #baseload power.

Recently published #fishpassage paper from Po river, Italy. We PIT-tagged fish from nine species. Only barbel and Italian chub passed in relatively high numbers. In spring-summer, a few non-native carp and Wels catfish succesfully passed. Paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
This salmon's got questions, we've got answers! Listen to our recent public webinar to learn how FishSafe turbines protect fish and improve hydropower plant efficiency.
We've got some amazing #fishpassage visualizations and videos to share in this new webinar, as well as explanations for how #FishSafe #turbines enable exceptional fish passage survival, reduce costs, and simplify #hydropower plant operations. Check it out!

Great news for fish passage in Downeast Maine. The recently passed WRDA includes funding for the voter-approved removal of the Cherryfield dam - a major barrier near the head of the tide on the Narraguagus River.
This will open a major watershed in Downeast Maine #AtlanticSalmon #fishpassage
I caught the tail end of a coho run at one of our barrier removal sites a couple weeks ago. It makes my heart sing to see salmon and redds, bears, and other wildlife taking advantage of these free-flowing streams. #streamrestoration #fishpassage #salmon
I spotted these coho salmon at one of our barrier removal sites a couple of weeks ago. It’s amazing how quickly they’ll repopulate streams if given half a chance. #streamrestoration #fishpassage #salmon
NIWA released updated guidance for fish passage in New Zealand. I'm excited to see how it compares what agencies like the FHWA, the USDA, and WSDOT have produced here in the US.

A brand new river!
A 400m new channel bypassing a (now redundant) weir, and replacing a (now in-filled) heavily degraded channel.
Winter floods will bring the seeds, spring will bring plant growth.
Nature will finish it for us! 🌱💧
