  • 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.

  • Jim and Bob,

    great video description.....you guys have made great progress in helping convince DOMCorp to go ahead with the eel passage. -phb

  • Good job on the video, and on the eelways!
