Coastal River Restoration

Overview

Through a partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services NH River Restoration Task Force, and the NH Fish and Game Department, NHCP will help identify river restoration projects. Projects may include dam removal, fish passage installation, and stream bed restoration. River herring, shad, Atlantic salmon, and American eel are species that would benefit from such projects.
