Скачать или смотреть Opening Up Wallace Dam Fishway

The Wallace Dam has obstructed diadromous fish passage on the Quinnipiac River for well over 100 years. A fishway has recently been constructed there allowing river herring, shad and other types of fish to pass freely over the dam and reach their native spawning grounds. This video shows the beginnings of the final stage - removing the coffer dam and allowing water to pass through the fishway.

Wallace Dam Fishway partners include Save the Sound, Quinnipiac River Watershed Association, Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, NOAA Restoration Center, Restore America's Estuaries, the Town of Wallingford, Milone & MacBroom, and Schumack Engineered Construction.
