Fish Barrier Project – Wai Connection
Wai Connection is working with TCC and local farmers to boost freshwater biodiversity in rural waterways. This 12-month project focuses on breaking down barriers to fish passage, starting with a full catchment survey and culminating in practical solutions tailored for farmers. Īnanga, a key freshwater species, is the star of this project — indicating waterway health and thriving ecosystems. Check out this report to learn more about Īnanga, why they need protection, fish passage guidelines, examples of fish passage structures, and key design considerations.
