Fish Motorway: A Million-Dollar Mystery | Nottingham News

Nottingham’s $12 million “fish motorway” — a 200-meter trench built to help eels and salmon migrate — is now two years old and still unproven. The Environment Agency admits they haven’t confirmed any migratory fish used it, despite finding common species like pike and roach during maintenance. Experts say that doesn’t count — real proof needs salmon or sea trout. Even a young salmon found nearby can’t prove its parents swam through the tunnel. Monitoring finally kicks off in autumn 2024, with 40 tracking options narrowed down to this complex 20-chamber system. And while they added a viewing platform, it’s mostly blocked — a missed chance for public engagement, especially when other projects offer underwater windows.
