tidal gates

We went to the open house for the new tidal gates built in the Winterlake area near Coquille, Oregon. This area out here typically floods in the winter (the river is close by) and fish have a habit of exploring outside of the river and occasionally getting stranded out in the fields when the water subsides. These gates should help regulate the water flow, help the fish get larger, and, once they do a little leveling of the the fields, reduce the amount of fish getting trapped. (A nearby road is actually called "Fishtrap".)
