• Description:
  The main objectives of the study "Anadromous Fish Restoration" are to supplement existing state, federal, and local efforts to restore anadromous fish populations throughout Virginia. Direct components of this study are: 1. To provide funding for a Virginia Fish Passage Coordinator position to facilitate the projects under this grant agreement (Coordinator, Alan Weaver, hired on December 1, 1993). 2. To provide funding for the design and construction of a notch at Williams Island Dam on the James River in Richmond (completed in November 1993). 3. To provide a portion of the funding needed for construction of a vertical slot fishway on Basher Dam (James River). NOTE: Original objective before modifications was to provide a Denil fishway at Ashland Mill Dam on the South Anna River. This grant was then amended for the design and construction of a Denil fishway on Ruffins Pond Dam (Massaponax Creek, a tributary of the Rappahannock River). This grant was amended again to fund a portion of the Basher fishway project which was near completion at the end of this grant period. 4. To provide funding support for monitoring activities by the Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) for anadromous fishes within waters of the state. 5. To provide funding support for other related restorative activities by the VDGIF, such as trap and transport of river herring, and American shad brood collection, rearing, transport, and stocking throughout the state.
