When A Parisian Canal Aged Two-Hundred Years Was Drained, No One Could Believe What Was In There

Aquatic Rescue

The drainage process was proceeding smoothly and the workers managed to now reduce the canal’s water level to 20 inches high. It was now time to speedily rescue all the fish as their home was being essentially destroyed. This monumental process took three days, where a large river’s worth of bream, carp, and trout was relocated. These fish would be moved to a distant part of the river that fed the Canal Saint-Martin, becoming one of the biggest efforts in conservation that the city had ever seen.
