Dam removals bring fish back to the northeastern US
Original: Dam removals are bringing fish back across the northeastern United States
Efforts to dismantle small dams across the northeastern United States are restoring rivers and allowing fish such as river herring and eels to return to spawning grounds they were cut off from for centuries. Conservation groups report that removing even tiny barriers, one at a time, is producing measurable recoveries in fish populations and improving river health across the region.
Why now: Ongoing dam removal projects are showing visible ecological success, drawing attention to river restoration efforts.
