It has to be effective at moving fish across a barrier. For example, the fish ladder at the Brunswick dam was built almost 50 years ago and even though hundreds of thousands of fish arrive at its base, only a tiny fraction pass above the dam. Experts from MDMR and NOAA have studied necessary performance standards for fish passage and have recently published the following recommendations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ET939aWm7l\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/brunswick-dam-fish-passage\/setting-passage-performance-standards\/\">Setting Passage Performance Standards<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Setting Passage Performance Standards&#8221; &#8212; The Brunswick Dam Fish Passage - Resource Library\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/brunswick-dam-fish-passage\/setting-passage-performance-standards\/embed\/#?secret=LBMZLSL1PO#?secret=ET939aWm7l\" data-secret=\"ET939aWm7l\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not enough to simply build a fish passage structure.
