2025 Fish Passage Design and Engineering Field School
Wednesday, February 19, 2025 to Friday, February 21, 2025
9:00am - 5:00pm
SRF is partnered with California Fish and Wildlife, Michael Love & Associates, and Ross Taylor & Associates to offer a hands-on Fish Passage Design and Engineering workshop that took place at the Mar Monte Hotel in Santa Barbara on February 19 - 21, 2025. The program is intended for engineers, hydrologists, biologists, and environmental planners, or those who are involved in the design and implementation of fish passage projects. The workshop curriculum covered aquatics species and stream crossings; channel morphology; and pre-design and project layout; including geomorphic based designs, profile control techniques, hydraulic designs using baffles and fishways, monitoring and adaptation strategies, and more.
Instructors:
Mike Love, Michael Love and Associates, and Ross Taylor, Ross Taylor and Associates.
