Using science and data to prioritize barrier locations with the greatest biological value.
Selecting the proper long-term engineering solution
Obtaining adequate funding to permit, construct, and monitor the site post-construction.
Ensuring appropriate permits are acquired to construct the project.
Constructing the project.
Post project monitoring to evaluate the success of the project.
