Dams, Impoundments and Barriers

Dam Removal and Modification: The Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited supports the
removal or modification of dams on Michigan's coldwater watersheds that will improve
hydrologic or thermal regimes and coldwater habitat. However, on those rivers where the
dams act as barriers to migratory salmonid or nuisance aquatic invasive species, we will
weigh scientific and social concerns before supporting or opposing dam removal or
modification or fish passage.
