Fish passage design masterclass

The Fish passage design masterclass aims to teach participants how to design effective fish passes, using a ‘learning by doing’ approach.

The course has been developed in association with the IFRG’s global industry partners, and gives the participants a practical understanding of fish passage engineering design, construction, ecology and monitoring.

This is achieved by presenting them with a real-life fish barrier scenario at the beginning of the course, and getting them to apply their learnings to develop a feasible fish pass solution.

The participants walk away with a range of options to address the initial fish barrier problem, and several designs from earlier masterclasses have since been successfully adopted and constructed.
