In partnership with the New Zealand National institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, AFPS is presenting several fish passage masterclasses to increase the skillset of regional councils and Iwi groups in barrier assessment, prioritisation and fishway design to enable the development of fish passage action plans in line with new legislation.
In partnership with Charles Sturt University, AFPS designed, supervised construction, conducted intensive fish passage training sessions with local fisheries, irrigation officials, and students, and had the honor of officially inaugurating the Sleng Weir Vertical Slot fishway alongside the Australian Ambassador in November, 2023.
AFPS travelled to Western Java, Indonesia to carry out field training for regional and local water management stakeholders, to enhance their proficiency in assessing instream barriers in relation to fish passage.
