I'm wondering if an outcomes-based standards regime would be better. What I mean by this is that if you take the predominant species in a given area.... Let's take where I come from, with the weak-swimming pike. The fish passage must be designed in such a way that pike can pass through it. Leave the design up to the developers as opposed to mandating a certain design: make it based on the fish themselves.
