.@acroll referencing salmon ladders in his morning #fwd50 talk. The concrete salmon ladders down the street from my house in BC were recently removed - they'd been thrown up decades ago, and were recently replaced with a more natural envt. Extra metaphor?!
@mgifford I think ladders aren't always bad, ours just had unintended effects on the fish !
"In the 1950s, the Penticton Creek was ‘channelized’ in response to flooding that devastated Penticton’s downtown. While the concrete channel helped with flood management, native fish species struggled with the loss of natural creek habitat and populations dropped. "
