Fish Friendly

"Fish Friendly" refers to designs and practices that help protect and support fish populations, especially during infrastructure projects like dam constructions or modifications. It involves thoughtful engineering—such as fish ladders or passageways—that allow fish to migrate naturally upstream or downstream. These measures minimize habitat disruption and reduce injury or mortality, ensuring healthy fish populations and balanced ecosystems. Essentially, Fish Friendly initiatives aim to coexist with aquatic life by considering their needs in development projects, promoting sustainability and biodiversity in river and stream environments.
