NH OpEd: Breeder Pond Dam Removal - Right Idea, Wrong Place...
“The current trend in fish and aquatic ecosystem conservation is that all dams are bad, and all should be removed. Since its inception, Native Fish Coalition has challenged this position, as while correct in theory, in practice this is not always the case.”
The New Hampshire chapter of NFC submitted an OpEd to various media in NH challenging the proposed dam removal at so-called “Breeder Pond in Franconia Notch.
“With no intention of suspending stocking on Profile Lake, the benefits of the project are unclear. Deliberately allowing nonnative perch to access water they do not have access to today is ecologically unsound. In this case, the negative impacts of removing the dam outweigh any positive gains.”
