Fish Passage Training
Fish passage experts
With extensive experience in all aspects of fish passage, AFPS has developed and executed several fish passage training programs in Australia, southeast Asia and New Zealand focussing on both classroom theory and field assessment. We can tailor programs to suit individual needs and can include aspects such as local fish passage ecology, barrier assessment, fish passage design, approvals, construction and monitoring.
AFPS can:
- Design a fish passage training program specific to your needs
- Carry out training in your local area
- Assist with the development of a demonstration fish passage site
