Welcome

The Fish Passage Improvement Program (FPIP), an interdisciplinary team of biologists and engineers, identifies and evaluates the potential to modify or remove structures that impede the migration of anadromous fish within the Central Valley. FPIP is an element of the CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Program, and our work would not be possible without partnerships with the CALFISH program, California Department of Fish and Game, Fish Passage Forum, local agencies & landowners, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

  In 2005, FPIP, with the assistance of an interagency team, prepared the Fish Passage Improvement Report - Bulletin 250, which identifies artificial structures in the FPIP geographic scope {Map (PDF, 300KB)}, and describes how selected structures impede fish migration and what is being done about them. The barrier inventory is included in the CalFish Passage Assessment Database.

  The DWR Publications Repository provides digital access to documents published throughout DWR, including those prepared by FPIP. A complete list of the publications posted on this website is also available.

• Projects

  FPIP plans and implements fish passage projects to modify or remove instream barriers which impede migration and spawning of anadromous fish. These barriers include: dams, road crossings, bridges, culverts, canal and pipeline crossings, flood control channels, and erosion control structures. Nationwide, the removal of dams has opened up miles of river habitat for special-status migrating fish.
