Restoring Access to Historic Migratory Fish Habitat in the Cape Fear River basin; Lock and Dam No. 2 and No. 3
“Restoring greater fish passage beyond these two barriers is critical to rebuilding migratory fish populations in the Cape Fear River and a
top priority of this Action Plan.” NOAA Final Action Plan 2013

Habitat Issue Limiting Recovery
Overfishing, declining water quality and habitat, and blockage of upstream spawning migrations have continued to limit once thriving populations of migratory fish.
In 1962, a program was implemented in which the lock at each of the three Lock and Dams was used for moving fish upstream to continue spawning runs.
Nichols and Louder (1970) estimated between 1962 and 1966, 9,770 American shad passed through Lock and Dam No. 1, and only 50 passed at Lock and Dam No.3.

Goal 1: Restore access to historic migratory fish habitat.
Problem Statement 1: Obstructions block or impede migratory fish access to historic spawning and nursery habitat.
Target 1: Anadromous fish access is restored to the approximately 40% of their remaining historic habitat that is currently disrupted or blocked by dams.

Recreational anglers took an estimated 12,765 trips in the Cape Fear River.
On these trips, surveyed anglers traveled an average of 47 miles round trip and spent an average of $33.76 per trip.
$431,000 was spent on recreational fishing trips economic impact of approximately $600,000 to the state economy.
In 2013 commercial fishermen landed 24,888 pounds of American shad worth $27,807 economic impact of $45,000 to the state economy.
Overall, the estimated economic impact of the Cape Fear River American shad fishery (recreational and commercial) in 2013 is upwards of $645,000.
What is the economic impact to the State?
