INNOVATIVE PROJECT TO HELP FISH AND OTHER AQUATIC ORGANISMS TRAVEL UP MILL BROOK

Shane Scott is the principal of SSA Environmental, a Vancouver, Washington-based firm dedicated to protecting fish and other aquatic organisms at bridges, culverts, hydroelectric and diversion dams, municipal water systems, irrigation canals, and pump stations. He leads the development of FlexiBaffle, a flexible retrofit culvert baffle that restores fish-friendly passage (aquatic organism passage) inside existing culverts where a permanent cast-in-place baffle isn't practical. Shane works with state departments of transportation and resource agencies to bring practical, near-term fish-passage solutions to aging culvert infrastructure.
