§ 5936 Fishway Protection Law

• •You can't break or block a fishway on purpose.
• •Fishways are like roads for fish to swim upstream, and messing with them is against the law.
• •Even if you don't mean to harm fish, blocking their path is still not allowed.

Someone builds a fence across a river where fish usually swim upstream to lay eggs.

This is illegal because the fence blocks the fishway, stopping fish from getting where they need to go.
