Fish passage and habitat

Restoring fish passage is great, but don't forget about the habitat!
In natural environments, overhanging vegetation is important for shade, refuge and a food supply, but also helps fish migrate up along the edges of waterways.
This video shows a trial project funded by Nelson City Council, where PlanterPods and Flexi-baffles are working together to provide habitat and passage, along a section of heavily modified urban stream in New Zealand.

Where did the planter pods come from ? Innovative idea

[@timolley9681]

Thanks. Pods are from ATS Environmental. www.ats-environmental.com/data-sheets/#planterpoddata

Excellent outcome. How was it dealing with the flood control engineers?

[@timolley9681]

Thanks. Really good. Engineers are actually driving this one. It helps to be using solutions that are sympathetic to the carry capacity. The carex plants do have a decent mass when fully grown, however the vegetation can bend in very high flows, thus allowing more flow.
