If you've followed my walks across Korea, you've seen plenty of photos of eodo/어도, or "fish ladders" (lit. "fish way," Chn. 魚道). Here is a YouTube Short that explains the Korean version of this nature-aiding architectural feature.
Pronunciation: "aw-doh." The romanization eo is somewhere between an "aw" and an "uh," or as my boss says, the government's rationale for choosing that spelling was that eo is from the sound of "eo" in George. Think: Seoul, i.e., "saw/suh-ool".
UPDATE: eodo pics: here, here, here, here, and here.
I've seen fish ladders in Washington state, outside Seattle, for salmon to use. They are fascinating.
