More good news: after years of fighting, Brookfield Renewable agreed to sell four dams on the Kennebec River which will let Atlantic Salmon go back up river to their spawning territory. This just happened in 2025 and could be a bigger breakthrough than the massive alewife restoration that the article mentions.

My understanding is that the first few victories on this were very very hard but it seems to have created a precedent and a growing example emulated across the country.
