  • KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds
    FALL/ WINTER 2015 THE NEWSLETTER OF MAINE RIVERS KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds Walking thigh-deep into a cold stream in January in Maine? The idea takes a little getting used to, but Paul Christman doesn’t have a hard time finding volunteers to do just that to help with salmon egg planting. Christman is a scientist with Maine Department of Marine Resource. His work, patterned on similar efforts in Alaska, involves taking fertilized salmon eggs from a hatchery and planting them directly into the cold gravel of the best stream habitat throughout the Sandy River, a Kennebec tributary northwest of Waterville. Yes, egg planting takes place in the winter. For Maine Rivers board member Sam Day plants salmon eggs in a tributary of the Sandy River more than a decade Paul has brought staff and water, Paul and crews mimic what female salmon volunteers out on snowshoes and ATVs, and with do: Create a nest or “redd” in the gravel of a river waders and neoprene gloves for this remarkable or stream where she plants her eggs in the fall, undertaking. Finding stretches of open stream continued on page 2 PROGRESS TO UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF THE ST. JOHN RIVER The waters of the St. John River flow from their headwaters in Maine to the Bay of Fundy, and for many miles serve as the boundary between Maine and Quebec. Waters of the St. John also flow over the Mactaquac Dam, erected in 1968, which currently produces a substantial amount of power for New Brunswick. Efforts are underway now to evaluate the future of the Mactaquac Dam because its mechanical structure is expected to reach the end of its service life by 2030 due to problems with the concrete portions of the dam’s station.

  • 2019 Volunteer Manual Saco River Corridor Commission
    Volunteer: _________________________________ Site(s): ____________________________________ 2019 Volunteer Manual Saco River Corridor Commission 2019 RIVERS Water Quality Monitoring Program is coordinated by: Dear RIVERS Volunteer, On behalf of Green Mountain Conservation Group and the Saco River Corridor Commission we would like to thank you for volunteering with the 2019 RIVERS Water Quality Monitoring Program. Since 2001, the Regional Interstate Volunteers for the Ecosystems and Rivers of Saco (RIVERS) program has depended on dedicated community members to conduct high quality citizen science in the Saco/Ossipee Watershed. By volunteering with RIVERS, you are collecting data to better understand the water quality in our area. You are helping to identify locations where water quality has been impacted, in addition to collecting valuable baseline data that can be utilized in planning for future regional development. While science is our goal, your safety is our top priority. Data collection is nice, but not at the expense of your well-being. If at any point in time you feel unsafe at your site, discontinue monitoring and leave. This includes but is not limited to high waters, suspicious persons, or inclement weather. Follow your gut, and only do what you feel comfortable with. Reach out to your volunteer coordinator if you have any issues or concerns about the program, even while out sampling. We want to help you if you get stuck on what to do, are having equipment issues, or have general comments on how to improve the program. We are here to help and value feedback from our volunteers. The RIVERS program is only successful because of you - our intrepid, boots-on-the-ground volunteer group.

CROIX RIVER UPDATE Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe passes St. Croix River Alewife Resolution Citing the vital linkages that sea-run alewives create in the food chain of the St. Croix River, Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy, members of the Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe voted unanimously to pass a resolution that calls for reopening the St. Croix Rivers for alewives. !e resolution states that sea-run alewife are a vital link in the food chain of the St. Croix River that sustained the Passamaquoddy for thousands of years, “without which we may not have survived.” !e Joint Tribal Council resolution supports the June 14, 2012 Passamaquoddy Chief’s Declaration of a State of Emergency within the St. Croix River, and calls for overturning Maine’s 1995 law that blocks alewives from the St. Croix. In early June 2012 members of the Schoodic Riverkeepers advanced the Passamaquoddy river restoration e"ort with a 100-mile sacred run up the St. Croix River, a run that mirrored the annual trek of native alewives. !e route extended from Pleasant Point, near Eastport, to Mud Lake Stream, a 4,000-year-old ancestral #shing site for the Passamaquoddy at the head of Spednic Lake. Maine Rivers has been working for nearly a decade on advocacy e"orts to reopen the St. Croix River and applauds this recent decision of the Joint Tribal Council. Clockwise from top: Runners and tribal elders at the halfway point of the 2012 the deer antler baton.
