Table 2. Selection of representative dams removed in the United States at least, in part, for the benefit of diadromous fishes (along Atlantic Coast chiefly for Atlantic salmon and alosines; along Pacific Coast chiefly for salmon and trout).

The dams are arranged approximately from north to south by region and were selected to include a range of sizes. Sources: Duda et al. (189), Brewitt (190) and multiple published sources. In some cases, the reported years of construction and removal may differ among sources, reflecting project’s whose initiation and completion spanned more than 1 year.
