National Fish Passage Projects
Restoring fish passage benefits people, fish and other animals. Fish passage projects increase habitat available for fish spawning and growth. Anglers and commercial and subsistence fishers benefit from larger fish populations, which are distributed across more available habitats. Natural flows and temperature have been restored for salmon, trout, sturgeon, striped bass, herring and shad, paddlefish, and many more native and declining forage and game species. Fish-eating birds such as eagles, ospreys and kingfishers have more forage, and bears, otters and mink benefit from larger fish populations.
