"For more than a century, a small concrete dam stood in the way of a river’s natural flow. Built to serve industries that no longer exist, the #TempleStreetDam in Duxbury, #Massachusetts, had long outlived its purpose. It blocked fish from reaching their spawning grounds, trapped sediment, created a maintenance burden for the town and disrupted the natural hydrology of the South River. In 2012, conservationists began working to change that. Fourteen years later, in 2026, demolition finally started. The removal of the Temple Street Dam is set to reconnect more than 7 miles of stream, restore 6 acres of open water wetland and bring the South River one step closer to the free-flowing ecosystem it once was, as shared by Town of Duxbury Massachusetts' website."
