Birds have “flyways” and now it’s time we started mapping “swimways” for freshwater fish! 🐟 These migration routes are vital highways beneath the water’s surface, and understanding them is key to protecting migratory freshwater species, which have declined by over 80 percent since 1970. 📉
Dive into @stefanlovgren's article in @ScienceNews to learn how scientists are charting these underwater paths and why it matters: sciencenews.org/article/flyw…
