In Utrecht, Netherlands, fish are swimming upstream to their spawning grounds but are prevented from reaching their destinations due to a boat lock.
To assist the fish, a live stream camera has been set up at the boat lock. Viewers can ring the doorbell when they spot a fish, which alerts the lock operator to open the lock and allow the fish to swim through.
The quicker the fish are able to pass through the lock, the higher their chances of survival as they are vulnerable to predators while waiting.
By participating in the fish doorbell project, viewers can contribute to improving water quality and freshwater marine life in the canals of Utrecht.
