We work to restore native fish populations to rivers throughout Maine. Healthy runs of sea-run fish symbolize our commitment to restoration of native species as an essential component of vital rivers. Native migratory fish species are ecologically and economically important, they serve as a forage base for fish, mammals and birds, from mink to eagles, from cod to whales. We know from experiences in Maine that rivers have a tremendous capacity for resilience and restoration, and that healthier rivers make for healthier communities.
