Could a new fish passage system help Snake River salmon? 
By Courtney Flatt CA Source: KNKX Public Radio 8/20/2021

Whoosh Innovations said its fish passage system could transport salmon quickly over the Snake River dams – and generate $60 million over 10 years by diverting water from fish ladders to hydropower turbines.
