The canal is a major transportation asset, also, and I can
understand why people want to keep it open.

Why can't they create a lock setup for the canal?

A set of doors and locks that prevents water flowing from the canal into
Lake Michigan but still allows ships to pass through. A set of pumps
and filters or screens to prevent the fish from moving through the locks
when water is moved between them.

They already have locks. How can they filter fish out? It's not that
simple.
