Many fish in our rivers require are required to migrate at some point in their life-cycles, for reasons including spawning, rearing, growth and recolonising. Artificial barriers to migration such as weirs and culverts can fragment river habitats causing isolation, and in some cases, local extinction. 


At Ribble Rivers we offer the ability to help you deliver fish passage solutions from concept to final construction. We offer a suite of services such as: identifying if you have fish migration barriers on your catchment through Barrier Surveys; investigating the best site specific option for improving fish passage through a Fish Passage Appraisal, including obtaining Topographical surveys and providing construction ready Design Drawings; and if requested, we can also organise the delivery of the chosen fish passage solution, liaising with land-owners, construction companies and the regulatory authorities.
