The Visdeurbel project in Utrecht, Netherlands, offers a unique way for viewers worldwide to assist fish migration by ringing a digital doorbell when a fish is spotted on the live feed. This initiative, ongoing since 2021, emphasizes the importance of fish populations as indicators of water quality. With over 3 million unique visitors last year, it highlights community engagement in environmental conservation. Organized tips encourage participation during peak fish activity times, especially in spring evenings, as various species, including eels, become more active during these hours.
As a fun interaction, viewers can ring a digital doorbell to alert a lock keeper to help migrating fish navigate Utrecht's Oudegracht canal.
Visdeurbel not only aids fish migration but is also a vital signal for water quality in the municipality of Utrecht.
Participation in the Visdeurbel project reflects a growing trend in environmental engagement, allowing people to contribute to local ecosystems while having fun.
Last year, the Visdeurbel attracted nearly 3 million unique visitors, demonstrating the global interest in community conservation efforts like this.
