Project Delivery
Guidance for Successful Fish and Wildlife Connectivity Projects

Successful fish and wildlife connectivity projects require adequate planning and continuous staff support to achieve desired goals. The six steps in the process include:

​

  • Using science and data to inform barrier locations with the greatest biological value.

  • Selecting the proper engineering solution after considering a variety of alternatives that maximize return on investment.

  • Obtaining adequate funding to permit, construct, and monitor the site post-construction.

  • Ensuring appropriate permits are acquired to construct the project.

  • Constructing the project.

  • Evaluating the success of the project design in meeting connectivity goals.
