Dam Removal on Coonamessett River Restores 56-Acre Massachusetts Wetland
Old dams on the Coonamessett River in Massachusetts have been dismantled as part of a major ecological restoration effort. The project converted former industrial farmland into a functioning coastal wetland spanning 56 acres. Migratory fish can now reach upstream spawning grounds that had been inaccessible for years due to the dams. Restoration work included constructing a winding stream channel and replacing a narrow culvert to improve water flow. The initiative is being recognized as a potential model for transforming agricultural bog land across New England.
