Hello:
The American Eel needs ALL the protection it can get. I support the three recommendations of the Canadian Wildlife Federation, namely:
- Revise Action 7 to require specific and immediate reductions in the mortality of adult eels as they migrate through hydropower facilities.
- Revise Action 8 to require immediate provision of upstream passage (e.g., eel ladders) for juvenile eels at barriers in the lower reaches of rivers in Ontario, including the Carillon Generating Facility at the base of the Ottawa River.
- Under Action 9, commit to reviewing hydropower mitigation plans for American Eel, and requiring revisions or revoking exemptions when hydropower producers fail to take reasonable steps to reduce the adverse effects of hydropower facilities on the species.
If a power dam has no downstream Eel ladder, along with turbine Eel excluders, it should be shut down during migration season.
