Project Benefits Restoration of anadromous fish to the Blackstone River would provide substantial ecological benefits for the Blackstone River watershed and the Narragansett Bay Ecosystem, as well as economic benefits for the communities of the Blackstone Valley and beyond. Specifically, the re-established fish runs would provide: Forage for valuable commercial and recreational fish species such as bluefish, striped bass, bass and pickerel Forage for predatory birds such as waterfowl, wading birds, and osprey Enhanced fishing opportunities for urban anglers Educational opportunities and aesthetic benefits to visitors at Slater Mill and other areas Enhanced opportunities for tourism and recreation in the Blackstone River Valley Heritage Corridor
