Dominion has installed two eel ladders on its Roanoke Rapids Hydro station to allow American eels to continue their journey to their historic habitat in the Roanoke River basin
Great project! I'd like to see some effort like this here in the Ottawa River in Ontario, Canada.
American eel are currently having a hard time ascending the Ottawa River due to many hydro dams in series. Some eel are still making to areas above 4 hydodams, imagine how many more would make if there were eel ladders installed!
This would be a great thing for eel recovery here in Ontario and will help produce more females for the eel population as a whole.
