These facilities are certain to influence the fishes' ascent and descent. It is becoming an important issue to preserve the fishways and natural environment in rivers.

It is time to promote the prefecture, local government, Land Improvement Projects Association (irrigation association) and the fishing industry to cooperate in efficiently enforce the prefecture's plan to not only preserve fishways but also to further preserve the beauty of Gifu's Rivers.
