  "projectDescription": "The Taunton River Watershed supports one of the largest populations of river herring in New England.  River herring migrate up the Taunton River from Narragansett and Mt. Hope Bays and move into tributaries, a number of which have significant, high quality spawning and rearing habitats.  Yet, many high quality tributaries to the Taunton River are blocked by dams, thus limiting the overall productivity of river herring and American eel in the watershed.  The goal of this project was to restore diadromous fish to the Cotley River watershed by removing the Barstow’s Pond Dam. Removing this dam provided diadromous and native resident fish (including river herring, sea lamprey, and American eel) access to 8.3 miles of spawning and rearing habitat. These species have undergone a dramatic decline in Massachusetts over the last 400 years. This effort also restored critical ecological processes such as sediment transport and river hydrology. The Barstowe's Pond Dam Removal project was completed successfully in 2018 and its benefits include increased fish passage, elimination of a public safety threat (dam failure), and stimulation of the restoration economy.",
