SciencePhoto: HT WorldHerring Return to Maryland's Patapsco River After Bloede Dam Removal
After the removal of Bloede Dam on Maryland's Patapsco River in 2018, scientists detected river herring DNA upstream for the first time in over a century. In 2021, biologists recorded two adult herring in the river, signaling a hopeful recovery of fish habitat. The dam had blocked fish migration from Chesapeake Bay and was removed with over $9.3 million in funding from NOAA and partners.
