- An 18-metre concrete dam on Ohio’s Cuyahoga River once stopped migrating fish from reaching important spawning areas for more than a century.
- Today, aquatic life is quickly returning to the river.
- Researchers from the US Geological Survey, working with state biological agencies, have released new long-term monitoring data showing a major ecological recovery.
