Elver Ladders
The migration of eels, like salmon, is a true wonder in nature. This short video tells the story of how in the early 1990s Hydro Tasmania built an effective Elver Ladder inside the dam wall to allow the baby eels (elvers) to swim upstream. This is a very important conservation story. Did you know for instance that the eels in the northeastern Tasmanian rivers originate thousands of kilometres away in the Coral Sea? Who needs GPS?

Don't ask me to explain how elver ladders are engineered, but this information brochure for schools does help: www.hydro.com.au/docs/default-source/community/education/...
