Hydropower owners are being asked to deliver safe, timely, and effective fish passage for more species, at more sites, and to prove it with data.





This four-hour seminar follows that challenge end to end: the design standards owners are now held to, the science of passing many species at once, the camera-and-AI systems that reveal whether passage is actually working, and the real projects where owners have built passage and learned what it costs.





The seminar features several subject matter experts -- a federal design engineer, consulting engineers, technology providers, researchers from national laboratories, and asset owners who have delivered passage in the field.
