  "projectDescription": "The NOAA Restoration Center and Fish America Foundation partnered with the Connecticut River Watershed Council to construct an Alaskan steep-pass fish ladder at Ed Bill's pond. This allows migrating fish to pass around the last significant human barrier to spawning habitats for anadromous river herring and sportfish on this tributary. This fish passage device is contributing to the increased numbers of prey species, improving the forage base for such important sportfish as striped bass, bluefish, and brown trout.",
