#Microblog Monday 449: Fish Doorbell

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

I found out about the fish doorbell too late to participate this year, but this is the Internet at its best. Migrating fish get caught at a lock, a problem solved if the lock operator opens the gates. But one human can’t sit day in and day out, watching for fish who may need to move through. Instead, the city has hooked up an underwater camera, and anyone anywhere in the world can watch the camera. When you see a fish, you push a button, and it signals to the lock operator that they should check the camera, too, and open the lock.

I love the idea of a fish doorbell.
