White Rock Dam Removal - Hurricane Sandy

by U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service - Northeast Region

In partnership with The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is leading an effort to remove White Rock Dam on the lower Pawcatuck River on the border of Stonington, Conn. and Westerly, R.I.

The project will open up close to 25 miles of the Pawcatuck River and associated wetlands for
migrating American shad, alewife, blueback herring, American eel, and sea-run trout.
