2026 Fish Passage Design and Engineering Field School

SRF is partnering with California Fish and Wildlife, Michael Love & Associates, and Ross Taylor & Associates to offer a hands-on Fish Passage Design and Engineering workshop in San Luis Obispo on February 24 - 26, 2026. The program is intended for engineers, hydrologists, biologists, and environmental planners, or those who are involved in the design and implementation of fish passage projects. The workshop curriculum will cover aquatics species and stream crossings; channel morphology; and pre-design and project layout; including geomorphic based designs, profile control techniques, hydraulic designs using baffles and fishways, monitoring and adaptation strategies, and more. Two days will be spent in a classroom setting and one day will be spent in the field visiting project sites.
