Buffalo extends emerald shiner passage along 700 feet of Niagara River seawall

 The city of Buffalo is enhancing a fish passageway to facilitate the journey of emerald shiners to Lake Erie. By installing steel baffles along the seawall, this initiative aims to mitigate strong currents. This effort is part of a significant multi-million-dollar restoration project for the Niagara River Area, alongside transforming nearby industrial slips into crucial shallow-water habitats, all geared towards rectifying historic environmental harm in western New York. The city of Buffalo is enhancing a fish passageway to facilitate the journey of emerald shiners to Lake Erie.
