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.

One Northwest company thinks it may have a better way to help adult salmon make it up and over the Snake River dams.

Yes, you read that right – over the roughly 100-foot-tall dams.
 

Whooshh Innovations has deployed its fish passage technology at dams and other obstructions on rivers around the world from the United States to Canada to Norway.

Company officials have met with federal agencies and have presented a draft proposal to lawmakers. Moreover, company officials said, this innovation could generate $60 million over 10 years by diverting water from fish ladders to hydropower turbines.
