The Industrial to Recreational Transition Continues
The recent installation on the Blackstone River of
the buoy system at Pratt Dam in Cumberland, Rhode
Island is a wonderful example of how a river
continues to be redefined from a place for industry
to a region, rich with opportunities, to enjoy
leisure time. What was once called “One of
America’s most polluted rivers,” by an article in
Audubon Magazine is proving that the only constant
in life is change.

Before 1972, and the Clean Water Act, there were
only two species of fish that could survive in the
main stem of the Blackstone River. Since then the
number of species in the main stem has increased to
at least nineteen. Through the collaborative
efforts of various organizations, the Blackstone
River is fast becoming a recreational mecca by
design. More here. |
