Seymour fish bypass & the stimulus money

Connecticut is looking for $12.6 million dollars of stimulus money for various statewide marine projects including $3 million for a fish bypass in Seymour at the Tinque Dam. "Other projects the state wants to complete include restoration of tidal wetlands along the lower Connecticut River in Chester, East Haddam, Essex, Haddam, Lyme, Old Lyme and Old Saybrook; a similar fish passage at the Rainbow Dam on the Farmington River in Windsor and the removal of the Springborn Dam on the Scantic River in Enfield". The Seymour fish bypass will open up 26 miles of freshwater to fish such as salmon and shad.
