Inside a tall, rectangular concrete fish ladder chamber with heavy rust and marine buildup on the walls. Two workers in safety vests and helmets stand on a wooden platform supported by metal ladders, installing or inspecting wooden step structures above a pool of water at the bottom.

Looking down into a deep, vertical concrete fish ladder chamber coated with dark marine growth. Two workers wearing safety gear stand on a wooden platform partway up, with several wooden steps installed below them in the structure.

View from inside a long, narrow concrete chute with dark, rough walls coated in marine growth. A series of newly installed wooden planks form step-like barriers rising toward an opening filled with daylight at the far end.
