[...] at a pH of 5 or below nearly all of the game fish and other top predators will be extinct. [...] the only organisms that seem to survive are some species of water beetles and old, resistant eels. Since the 1990s, stocks of perch (Perca fluviatilis) have been steadily increasing in many of the country's formerly acidified lakes and streams, a clear sign that natural ecosystems are recovering from die worst impacts of acidification.

MILL POINT - Thanks to 110 volunteers who operated a quarter- mile-long bucket brigade that moved more than nine tons of pulverized limestone, a stream left virtually lifeless by acid rain is coming closer to recovery. The Middle Fork of Williams River, once a productive brook trout stream, began experiencing plunging pH levels and a paucity of fish in the mid-1950s. The stream, which flows through the Cranberry Wilderness Area, lies in a watershed that lacks enough calcium- bearing rocks, such as limestone, to buffer acid precipitation.
In Massachusetts, state leadership has started innovative regulatory and voluntary approaches to address mercury pollution. Harvey and Smith provide an interview of the Massachusetts experience, within the context of international, federal, and regional initiatives. The Massachusetts approach illustrates the current importance of state leadership in developing effective strategies and demonstrating workable solutions.
