The Baiting Hollow Scout Camp Fish Passage Project will result in a conceptual design of a new water control structure with either a technical or nature-like fishway to allow for river herring and American eel passage. 

The Suffolk County Council, Boy Scouts of America is working with Seatuck Environmental Association, under a Long Island Sound Futures Fund award to manage this fish passage alternatives analysis project. The final project outcome would be a fish passage plan that includes initial site assessment data, the alternatives analysis of a nature-like and engineered fishway, and the conceptual design.

As the fish passage conceptual plan is implemented in the future, it would open approximately 4.0 acres of freshwater lacustrine habitat to migratory species on the North Shore of Long Island. Long Island Sound Study prioritizes reconnecting riverine migratory corridors, as diadromous fish species that rely on these essential corridors to move upstream into freshwater habitat are critically important to the Long Island Sound food web.
