The US removed 2 massive dams on Maine’s largest river — something returned in unbelievable numbers
The US removed 2 massive dams on Maine’s largest river — something returned in unbelievable numbers The United States removed two massive dams on the largest river in Maine — and just a few years later, millions of fish returned in numbers no one had ever seen before. But behind this unbelievable result was a century-long crisis, as more than 100 dams had completely blocked migration routes, pushing the ecosystem to the brink of collapse. Instead of tearing everything down and sacrificing energy production, they chose a bold solution: remove the most critical bottlenecks while upgrading the remaining dams to maintain — and even increase — electricity output. The cost was tens of millions of dollars and years of negotiation, but in return, an entire natural system came back to life. The question is: should this model be applied to millions of other dams around the world?
