A E Yates Ltd. have partnered with Environment Agency to construct an eel pass in Beetham, Cumbria.

A spokesperson from Environment Agency explained:

“The recent project at Beetham Gauging Station introduced an innovative and experimental method using pebble resin. Significant effort has been dedicated to assessing the impact on data quality and balancing it with the necessary measures to support eel migration in our rivers.

This initiative aims to make more of the EA structures sensitive to ecological and environmental needs while ensuring high-quality hydrometric data for Water Resources and data users. This overall enhances eel migration across hydrometric sites in the region.”
