Every year thousands of #eels returning to the Ocean die when trying to pass dams on our rivers. the #Ardnacrusha hydroelectric powerplant on the #Shannon is one of the deadliest obstacles on eels route. I did a little illustration to help draw attention to this huge problem.
A huge thank you to historian Michael McCarthy for gifting this painting of the Ardnacrusha hydro-electric scheme by artist Elena Mikhailova
