Restoring Stream Connectivity in the WB Machias River in Maine
-
Project SHARE and the Service completed a basin wide stream-road crossing and fisheries assessment in the WB Machias River. There are 43 fish bearing road crossings in this subbasin that limit aquatic connectivity. To date, 11 crossing have been replaced and 8 crossings have been decommissioned. Funding has been secured to remove all but two of the remaining barriers. This project will remove one of those last two barriers in the basin, reconnecting approximately 0.5 miles of habitat for brook trout and restore ecological stream function.

Restoring the Mangroves of the Indian River Lagoon, Florida
-
The Indian River Lagoon is a 156 mile bar-built coastal estuary that covers an area of approximately 3,575 square kilometers. It supports coastal mangrove wetlands, salt marshes, intertidal and subtidal flats, and riparian wetland and floodplains, which provide important habitat to numerous fish species. Unfortunately, the rate of shoreline and wetland destruction has increased, due to decades of urbanization and the spread of invasive plant species. This project will restore over 10 acres of coastal habitat wetlands to the Lagoon.

Scoy Pond and Staudinger’s Pond Alewife Access and Habitat Enhancement, New York
-
In Northwest Creek, a channel will be constructed and an overflow pipe will be replaced with a weir to allow fish passage into Staudinger’s Pond. In Alewife Brook, an undersized culvert will be replaced and stream debris will be removed to allow fish passage into Scoy Pond and to improve tidal flow. Additionally in Alewife Brook, invasive Phragmites will be removed and the surrounding habitat will be enhanced. This project will ultimately restore access to approximately 18 acres of diadromous fish spawning and maturation habitat and enhance the ecologic function of nearly 1000 acres of estuarine habitat.

Shoreline and Spartina Marsh stabilization along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, South Carolina
-
This project will rehabilitate tidal marsh areas experiencing degradation from boat traffic along the Intracoastal Waterway, within the ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve, by constructing natural breakwaters using oyster reefs. The expected results of the project include: increased fish habitat, stabilized shoreline, improved water quality, and increased public awareness.

Smith Creek Headwaters Restoration, Viginia
-
Historic cattle grazing and agricultural practices over the last 225 years have eliminated the majority of riparian vegetation in the study area causing increased water temperatures and extensive sedimentation in both the pools and riffle habitats in the headwaters of Smith Creek. These land use changes have extirpated brook trout and greatly reduced populations of native gravel spawning fishes, native mussels and American eel in the study area. The Smith Creek headwaters restoration will restore 4 miles of stream habitat and 65 acres of riparian forest / upland forest in an area with several spring habitats that provide critical spawning, rearing and late summer temperature refuge habitats for brook trout. The restored habitat will connect to a small isolated brook trout population found upstream on protected National Forest land (Mountain Run).

South Bog Stream Restoration Project, Maine
-
South Bog Stream is a tributary of Rangeley Lake in Franklin
County, Maine. Historically, the stream was known as the
lake’s primary brook trout spawning tributary and it still
supports a population of wild brook trout. However, Rangeley
Lake, once known for its large brook trout, no longer has a
thriving wild brook trout fishery. South Bog Stream no longer
contributes a substantial number of brook trout to the lake.
This fact is one possible reason for the decline of Rangeley’s
renowned brook trout fishery. A 2001 stream survey revealed
habitat degradation along the lower reaches of the 6.3-milelong
stream, presumably as a result of the log-driving era in
the late 1800s and early 1900s. Sections of the stream are
shallow and wide. There are very few deep pools which
provide essential habitat for brook trout. Because of habitat
degradation, the stream produces fewer trout than it did prior
to stream alterations over a century ago. The Maine
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is restoring
sections of the stream by rebuilding pools, narrowing and
deepening the channel.

South Branch of Kinzua Creek Acid Precipitation Remediation Project, Pennsylvania
-
This project is a design/construct/implementation/research project located in Allegheny National Forest, in Hamlin and Wetmore Townships, McKean County that when completed will restore water quality and reestablish recruitment of brook trout within approximately 5 miles of stream. Three acid precipitation impaired tributaries of the South Branch of Kinzua Creek will be treated and restored in concert with routine Forest Service road maintenance by constructing innovative passive treatment systems that will supply buffering capacity to the watershed via the roads stormwater management facility.
