Making Wild Trout Habitat Under A Road

This is a snapshot of the type of work I am involved in. I work with highway development and am in charge of preserving wildlife habitats.

im sorry but this looks useless as its to high for water to go threw

@HellsAngels0012 oh darn,... the b'y's will be some sad to know they gotta haul all that back out starting with lifting the boulders out by hand.

[HellsAngels0012]

@Piranhaboy01 could you tell me how this would work as is? enless of course im just miss understanding massivly :P is so then i fail

@HellsAngels0012 once the water is allowed to fill up the channel and flow through, there will be many micro-habitats. the boulder clusters create all sorts of currents and eddies, slack water and fast water. medium stones were scattered around the boulders. then the entire channel was filled with a mix of gravels perfect for wild trout to spawn. the natural flow dynamics will sort the substrate (all the rocks and gravels) into proper gradations for the trout and salmon

i read the description and this is the kind of stuff i want to do with my life.

what did you study in college?

im going to start environmental sciences soon, i hope i can be like this one day!

@Alexxx281 you can.... if you believe you can, young grasshopper

This is really cool man. I wish more development was done this consciously. Doesn't happen nearly enough in America. Nvm the rest of the world. Can't tell you how many fish populations have been wiped out (just on this island I live on) from people screwing with spawning streams and brooks. Thumbs up!

This is really cool, not often you get to do work like this.

@Piranhaboy01 that sounds really cool :D i hope you do a vid once fish start using it ^-^
