Abstract:
In the early days of the 20th-century, the Cape Fear River did not have dams. Commercial traffic could reach Fayetteville and the fish could go as far as Durham. Dams and locks were built later to provide electric power and facilitate boat travel. For the past 70 years migrating fish have been prevented from going beyond Dam No. 1. Leutze examines a proposal to eliminate Lock and Dam No. 1 and possibly Nos. 2 and 3. While beneficial to the fish, the removal has implications for the city of Wilmington.
