Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


The overall aims of the project are:
1) To resolve fish passage and associated connectivity issues, and thus improve the WFD fish status of the Hogsmill River, by the removal or modification of a series of weirs/culverts which currently seriously impede or completely prevent upstream fish movement.
2) To improve in-stream habitat in two significant stretches of the Hogsmill River, which flow respectively through the Kingston University and the Hogsmill Sewage Treatment works, and thus improve the WFD fish status of the Hogsmill River.

Monitoring surveys and results

This case study hasn’t got any Monitoring survey and results, you can add some by editing the project overview.
