Ozaukee Fish Passage Program

Ozaukee Fish Passage Program "Making Connections Across Our Watersheds"

The Fish Passage Program reconnects existing, high quality habitat in the Milwaukee River, its tributaries and other Ozaukee County streams to Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Estuary, and/or lower reaches of the mainstem Milwaukee River. We also forge new connections between Ozaukee, Milwaukee, and other counties, municipalities, businesses, schools, NGO’s, citizens, volunteers, and state and federal agencies.
