| Exactly I don't get why we can't figure out and prioritize allowing fish to pass around the dams. |

| We can. One presumes it is less efficient than just removing the dam. It is more work versus less work - fish ladders and the like. |

| ▲ | RajT88 5 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Fisherman like them because fish bunch up beneath them. Despite the overall populations being higher once all the fans are gone. There is an aspect of property value as well - dams maintain a certain river level and removal may impact how nice people's river houses are.

| There are many dams with fish ladders or even fish cannons. |
