The Chesapeake Bay Program reopened 352 miles of spawning habitat in the tributary states of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and District of Columbia this year to migratory fish - surpassing the Chesapeake Bay Program’s five-year goal of 1,357-miles.

Fish passages helped migratory fish, like shad, reach freshwater spawning habitat over more than 1,000 miles of tributaries currently blocked by dams, culverts and other obstructions.
