Tell the Milwaukee County Board to Support fish passage in Kletzsch Park!
We believe a FISHABLE future for the Milwaukee River Basin is possible. To ensure we have healthy, flourishing native fish populations we need to address barriers to fish passage. One such hurdle for some of our native fish is the Kletzsch Park Dam.
What’s the Big Dam Deal?
At Milwaukee Riverkeeper, we pride ourselves on being the voice of the rivers. And if Milwaukee’s rivers could talk, they would probably SCREAM, “let us flow free.” As river protectors, we take our job seriously to ensure our shared resource will be swimmable, fishable and drinkable for our children and our children’s children. We are at a pivotal moment in the history of water in Milwaukee. Momentum and energy is building to prioritize the work to clean up historically contaminated parts of our rivers and Estuary through EPA’s Area of Concern program. This could mean a serious federal investment to achieve cleaner rivers and healthier communities.
