Floating Ramp

Floating Ramps are a simple and effective solution for improving fish passage at perched culverts and small barriers. Designed for easy retrofitting, they provide a continuity for a broad range of species and life stages.

Floating Ramps are:

  • Lightweight and easy to transport

  • Robust and UV-resistant for long service life

  • Low-cost retrofit option for existing structures

  • Self-adjusting bottom-end floats maintain contact with flow

  • Designed to shed debris and prevent blockages

  • Minimal maintenance required after installation

  • Made from recycled and recyclable materials

  • Works effectively in both low- and high-flow conditions

  • Suitable for temporary or permanent installations

  • Compatible with mussel rope or FlexiBaffles for enhanced fish passage
