How engineering helps fish navigate man-made dams

When humans build dams, we disrupt natural migration routes. This video explores the engineering behind fish ladders, examining how these structures attempt to help aquatic life bypass obstacles to live more harmoniously with our infrastructure.

The video examines the intersection of human infrastructure and environmental stewardship. It looks at how engineering endeavors reflect our varying perspectives on how humanity can coexist with the planet's other species. Specifically, it focuses on the mechanics of fish ladders and their role in allowing fish to navigate past dam obstructions.
