Thousands of miles of fish spawning habitat on Chesapeake Bay tributaries are currently blocked by dams, culverts and other obstructions. Restorating and protecting the Bay's vital fishery resources are integral components of the 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement. Working toward this restoration goal, the signatories of the Agreement have supported a commitment by the States and Federal government to: Providefor fish passage at dams, and to remove stream blockages wherever necssary to restore passage for migratory fishes.
