DFO, PSF and Washington’s GSRO were pleased to bring together experts to present the latest science, tools and guidance for solutions for fish passage and flood control.
This virtual workshop brought together experts to present the latest science and guidance for solutions for fish passage and flood control. Through informational talks and case studies, speakers presented on tide gates and floodgates, Oregon’s tidal gate journey, and self-regulating flood solutions in the Fraser River.
