		By the time Agawam reached Hampton Roads on 9 May, the Union commander had squandered his initial advantage of surprise by his hesitation to launch vigorous attacks toward his initial objectives, the railroad and the turnpike connecting Petersburg and Richmond.
		During this time, besides serving as the squadron flagship, she helped to clear the river of mines, was a mobile platform for observation of Confederate activity along both banks of the river, acted as an intelli-gence and communication clearinghouse, and used her guns to suppress Southern batteries ashore.
		The day after Admiral Lee left her, Agawam and Mendota fired on a fortified position inside Four Mile Creek whence Southern five guns had recently fired upon Hunchback and, in the months that followed, frequently engaged batteries hiding along the banks of the strategic stream.

	Agawam River Wareham, MA Findings in 1996 Buzzards Bay NEP & Coalition's Citizen Monitoring Program
		We examine it separately because the Agawam River is the major contributor of both nutrients and freshwater to the Wareham River estuary, and because we have monitored two brackish water sites which due to their freshwater nature, could not be included in the Eutrophication Index scores for the Wareham River estuary.
		The Agawam River is also noteworthy because it receives discharges from the Wareham Sewage Treatment plant which serves both the town of Wareham and selected areas of the Buttermilk Bay and Buzzards Bay sections of Bourne.
		Because of low oxygen concentrations observed in the Agawam River, nitrogen loading limits for the plant should not only be protective of water quality in the Wareham River, but protective of the Agawam River as well.

	The Coalition for Buzzards Bay
		River herring are anadromous fish, meaning they spend most of their lives in saltwater but return to fresh water to breed and much like salmon, they return to the same stream in which they were hatched.
		River herring in Buzzards Bay are declining and exist at a small fraction of their historic populations.
		The decline in river herring can be traced to the damming of the Bay's rivers, filling of spawning ponds, degradation of water quality, and alterations to pond and river flows.
