World Fish Migration day - Mitigation measures for glass eel migration

The European eel has a remarkable life cycle: each spring juvenile eels called glass eels arrive at our Belgian coast. They were born somewhere in the vast Atlantic Ocean, presumably the Sargasso Zee. When they arrive at our coast, they already travelled for about 7000 km. Their goal is to migrate into our freshwater rivers and canals to colonize them and grow untill they migrate back for spawning after more than 15 years. However, obstacles like tidal barriers and water pumping stations prevent them from reaching suitable growing habitats.
