Program objective
To restore native fish and other aquatic species to self-sustaining levels by reconnecting habitat that barriers have fragmented, where such reconnection would not result in a net negative ecological effect such as providing increased habitat to aquatic nuisance species. Fish passage projects restore unimpeded flows and fish movement by removing barriers or providing ways for aquatic species to bypass them; such projects also provide public safety and economic benefits for human communities. The program works on a voluntary basis and provides financial support and technical assistance to Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies, as well as private partners and stakeholders.
