    This may look like a natural arrangement of rocks, but it is really a feat of engineering. Rocks are precisely placed to build a series of boulder step pools that raise the water level making it possible for fish to swim over an active sewer line. Migrating Blueback herring, Alewife and other fish can once again swim upstream to spawn as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. These pools are part of a larger project that restores the "Herring Highway".

    Impressive, because invisible but functional building!
