Migration along streams or rivers is often interrupted by hydraulic structures which form barriers. In stream restoration projects, high priority is usually attached to establishing migration facilities for aquatic organisms. However, aquatic migration may also be limited under natural conditions. The example of beaver dams is considered. When determining restoration goals it is necessary to take into account morphological, hydrological and biological conditions for the river continuum.
