We aim to organise an innovative session where using online tools such as Mentimeter, we will create an engaging environment to co-create and share international and traditional knowledge about fish passage. Fish passages are century-old engineering tools used to mitigate the impacts of dams on fish migration and movement in riverine systems. Nevertheless, their efficiency to contribute to the conservation or even to mitigate the impacts of dams on river connectivity and migratory routes is arguable. The existence of different views and concepts around fish passage goals based on international perspectives and indigenous knowledge is clear. However, this information is pulverised on regional and local knowledge and not systematized. We aim to engage conference participants in lively discussions during the session to help us systematize knowledge and co-create concepts around fish passages that can be shared globally to improve the management of migratory fish populations.
