Advocating for our rivers is an important job! Yesterday we spent the day at our State’s Capitol building, Legislative Hall, educating legislators and their staff about our mission to restore and protect the Brandywine River to enable the migration of American Shad, and improve ecological function while providing equitable opportunity for environmental education and recreation.

Thank you all!
Restoring the Brandywine River to its natural state is an important part of our mission and our ecosystem. There are many benefits to removing dams and allowing water to flow freely.
Natural features like wetlands and marshes can flourish, water quality is improved; fish and wildlife habitats recharge, recreational opportunities increase, flood risks can be reduced for communities, and of course- migrating fish can continue their lifecycle and reproduce.

A HUGE WIN!! After a decade's-long push from river basin tribes whose livelihood and culture are intertwined with the river, the Yurok Tribe says, if salmon disappear from the river - so do they.
This story is very similar to that of the Lenape Tribe and American Shad- and very important to the ecosystem, especially for salmon. ... See MoreSee Less

Do you know the story behind the Brandywine River ShadRun?
American Shad travel 3,000 miles to spawn in the Brandywine River where they were born each year. The fishermen call this the "Shad Run." This race is in honor of that "Shad Run" which has been happening for thousands of years (before the Industrial Revolution when the dams were erected)!
