Dedicated "eel lanes" are to be created in rivers at the South Downs National Park to assist with the migration of the European eel.

The project includes the installation of fish passes created around man-made structures in the rivers which act as a narrow lane of water to provide eels with a route around artificial barriers like dams and weirs.

Strips of bristles, known as eel brushes, are also being added at new water control structures in RSPB Pulborough Brooks and Pagham Harbour to help eels manoeuvre upstream.
