Fish Passage from North to South NZ

July 20, 2022

Hi everyone

It’s always great to see a growing number of people getting stuck into fish passage throughout New Zealand.

Aided by the newly released Fish Passage Remediation Training Aid 2022, teams of practitioners are better equipped than ever before to restore connectivity to our waterways.

Check out some pics from the field:
