10 years later, migratory fish populations see resurgence after removal of Veazie Dam

[@simonbird1973]

We’re doing this here in the UK & it’s making a massive difference, salmon stocks are thriving! 😀

[@lag9765]

Good thinking... It's about time we respect the ways of nature...

[@littlsuprstr]

Remember that it goes both ways. Dams impound nutrients that should have reached the ocean, which would have fed the things that fish feed on.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Great news and hopefully some of the remaining 100 dams in the watershed will be removed sooner rather than later.

[@peterdorn5799]

congratulations, it looks good, Atlantic salmon have half a chance, it's a great start

[@MilePost106]

Rivers were made to naturally flow freely not held back by dams.

[@kurtzwar729]

All dams, except those built by beavers are an environmental disaster. Blocking fish. Blocking estuary building sediment from reaching the delta estuary, collapsing estuaries worldwide.

@donaldatherton319 why so cynical? Solar and wind power is much cheaper and more efficient and even more reliable. Fact.

[@ChrisLaprise-p8n]

​@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists That has nothing to do with fish being able to return to their traditional spawning grounds. The tribes need the nutrients too.

[@peterdorn5799]

replacing the benefits services and getting the salmon back is a winning solution, project 311 will replace the electricity it's a win all the way

[@lag9765]

And here in California, Gavin Newsom wants to build another dam. Soon we in California will loose our fisheries for the sake of industrial farming...

[@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists]

wont happen....just check Klamath or Elwah......

[@BlackPatrick]

One word: beavers.
