The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will provide additional funding to the Service’s National Fish Passage Program which will help restore degraded and fragmented aquatic habitats, remove obsolete dams, and increase fish passage for native fish.
This program will also decrease public safety hazards and improve infrastructure resilience by reducing flood risks and improve water delivery for local agriculture irrigation districts. National Fish Passage projects will also create construction, engineering and other jobs that will help stimulate local economies. http://ow.ly/LspH50HZ0uv
