Massachusetts removed 2 old dams; 56 acres of wetlands were rebuilt by 2020
In a groundbreaking ecological revival, old dams on the Coonamessett River in Massachusetts were dismantled, restoring wetlands and providing passage for migratory fish.

The restoration involved creating a sinuous stream channel and replacing a narrow culvert, establishing a model for agricultural bog transformations throughout New England.
