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.
