In honor of tribal fishing rights, Washington State is replacing undersized culverts statewide to restore fish habitat.
This project at Chico Creek replaced a 36-inch pipe with a bridge, and realigned the stream bed to open up 21 miles of salmon-spawning habitat.
Chum salmon are already exploring a tributary that was blocked by a highway embankment.

Hey folks! Given my previous instance's explosive growth (yay!), but resulting bogging, I've been asked to migrate somewhere else in the #Fediverse. I've already chatted with a few of you here, so this may be a recycled #introduction. At any rate, I'm Ridge. I'm a PhD student at Clemson University researching small-bodied #FishPassage through culverts. I've enjoyed my first few days here on Mastodon, and am looking forward to your conversations on #fish, #scicomm, and beyond! Tight lines!
