Eel-ectric Avenues2024 - 2025
At the beginning of their life, the European eel migrates from the Sargasso Sea to European rivers and estuaries seeking fresh waters. But, OH NO! Along their journey, man-made barriers such as weirs, culverts, and locks hinder their chances of reaching such ideal habitats. This project explores how humans can become greater ‘eel-vocates’, aiding the eels in their migration through playful and engaging modes of social science. From building DIY props to analogue data collection, ‘Eel-ectric Avenues’ harnesses tangible solutions to widen community involvement in the conservation of eels.
