Fish Passage Restoration project in South East Queensland

For the last three years Catchment Solutions has been part of a project that identified over 13 000 barriers to fish passage in South East Queensland covering 14 catchments. These barriers include weirs, culverts, bridge crossings, walkways, roads and tidal bunds. Barriers were prioritised in order to develop potential remediation options that would allow fish to undertake their migratory life cycle, often between estuarine and freshwater environments. A number of sites were then selected for remediation to have fish ladders or ‘fishways’ designed and constructed as part of the project to demonstrate the effectiveness of these types of structures. This video highlights the fishways and the monitoring that occurred post construction with extremely positive results. For further information on this project visit catchmentsoluti...
This project was co-funded by local councils and Reef Catchments NRM through the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. Fishway design and construction was delivered by Catchment Solutions. Produced by Kim Kleidon, edited by Jac Kotze.

Really cool video. Whoever you guys are you do a really good job explaining this to people who don't understand how all fisheries projects like these work.

I work for a rivers trust in South East Wales, UK and we have several barriers similar to the road bridge slab shown in this video. Would it be possible for you to send me drawings of the formwork used for the concrete baffles Thank you
