Working together for happy fish!

The Happy Fish is a symbol for people, organizations and projects that aim to create free migration for fish populations. It signifies that migratory fish must move freely throughout their swimway. The ‘big smile’ means that if successful, fish populations can thrive and increase. 2019 is the International Year of the Salmon and with the drawing on the right we show that Happy Fish became friends with the salmon.

About Happy Fish

Fish migration is essential for healthy rivers

Migratory fish all over the world depend on free flowing rivers. Today, river barriers like dams, sluices and many other obstacles threaten many fish species' survival.

Free flowing rivers, that allow fish to travel upriver, increase fish populations in the river and assure healthy river life.
