Ingenious "Fish Doorbell" Helps Fish Migration In The Netherlands - Lemmy.World

Ok, this is really adorable, but how about at least naming the heroic lock keeper on the receiving end of 100K doorbell rings each spring who has to physically open the gate for the fish? We only learn the name of the guy who put a fish cam down there.
Five-hundred thousand links and I couldn’t figure out which went to the webcam on the first try so I gave up. Great reporting.

To be fair, the site is not intended for the general audience, but to ESL language learners. It’s very niche, so I’ll blame OP instead.

They did mention their sources at the end, though, including visdeurbel.nl, the site in question. But it’s not a clickable link.

The actual website, since the article fails to link to it: visdeurbel.nl/en/the-fish-doorbell/
