  "projectDescription": "The Town of Plymouth removed the Holmes Dam, the last significant obstacle to river herring on Town Brook in Plymouth throughout 2019. This project provided migrating fish full access to their spawning grounds in the 269-acre Billington Sea. Holmes Dam was a 16-foot high, 275-foot-long high-hazard dam and a bridge in poor condition. This dam removal opened access for river herring to spawning habitat, leading to a predicted increase in the fish run of 200,000 additional fish. The removal also protected surrounding infrastructure and will reduce flood vulnerability during extreme weather events by increasing floodplain storage volume.",
