In a groundbreaking ecological revival, old dams on the Coonamessett River in Massachusetts were dismantled, restoring wetlands and providing passage for migratory fish. This project repurposed industrial farmland into a flourishing coastal ecosystem, allowing fish to ascend to upstream spawning spots that had been blocked for years. The restoration involved creating a sinuous stream channel and replacing a narrow culvert, establishing a model for agricultural bog transformations throughout New England.
