Will open up many miles of Deep River habitat for CFS. 2020-2023 Funding from NFWF for Highfalls Dam removal; project progress was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of July 2023, the Service is working on a BO and the applicant (Unique Places to Save) as submitted a permit for dam removal to the USACE. The dam is anticipated to be removed by Dec 2023. | |||||||||||

In 2013 first augmentation effort occurred in Spring 2013 and is planned to occur twice/year for two years. 2014 - three augmentation efforts have been successful; 2 additional efforts planned and then final evaluation of success will determine path forward. 2023 update: In 2022, Edenton NFH propagated the species, and 517 juveniles were released in the mainstem of the Cape Fear River that October. In spring 2023, 80 adults were captured for broodstock and brought to Edenton NFH for another round of propagation. Spawning and survival have been successful so far, and we anticipate releasing more juveniles in fall 2023. 2020- Edenton Fish Hatchery received first collected stock of CFS for future propagation efforts. One egg clutch was observed in hatchery, which is promising. Additional broodstock will be collected in early spring of 2021 by WRC for additional propagation efforts. | |||||||||||
