Fish Passage

  As Part of the National Fish Passage Program, The La Crosse Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office works with internal and external partners to restore native fish, mussels and other aquatic organisms to self-sustaining levels by improving natural flows in rivers and streams and reconnecting habitats that have been fragmented by dams, culverts and low water road crossings in the Upper Mississippi River basin and the Red River of the North basin. Our efforts are focused on tributaries to Upper Mississippi River in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and the mainstem of the Red River and its tributaries in Minnesota.
