Penobscot River Restoration

by Christopher Beck

A series of diagrams about the history of the 1999-2016 restoration of the Penobscot River in Maine through the removal of two dams and construction of a fish ladder around the third. This project details the necessity for and process of dam removal, demonstrates the workings of the Penobscot ecosystem with and without the dam, and models future ecological and economic recovery of the area.
