Our goals for 2025

American Fisheries Society


The work and outreach of the Foundation mixes humor and optimism with a clear-eyed view of the state of fish passage and fish migration worldwide. They deliver a very serious and timely topic in a way that leaves everyone feeling hopeful and energized about the possibility of change.

You can help!

None of these projects would be possible without funds from our donors. Help scale up dam removal by becoming one too!

Happy Fish symbol

The Happy Fish is the symbol for people, organizations and projects aiming to restore migration routes for fish populations. It is our hope that it will be incorporated into many special events and locations that educate the public about the importance of fish migration. Everybody is welcome to use the Happy Fish.

There is currently a Happy Fish Statue travelling around the world! Click here to see its journey or host the Happy Fish!
