Dam removals bring fish back to the northeastern US
Original: Dam removals are bringing fish back across the northeastern United States
Dam removals across the northeastern United States are restoring fish populations, with rivers reopened one small barrier at a time. Smithsonian reports that taking down aging and obsolete dams is allowing migratory species such as river herring to return to spawning grounds, and conservationists see the projects as a model for ecological restoration elsewhere.
Why now: Ongoing dam-removal projects in the northeastern US are showing measurable ecological recovery, drawing interest in river restoration
