Upper Winooski Watershed Fisheries Summary
2017 Upper Winooski Fisheries Assessment Prepared by Bret Ladago; Fisheries Biologist, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department The Upper Winooski River watershed is defined in this fisheries assessment as the Winooski River from the headwaters in Cabot downstream to the top of the Bolton Dam in Duxbury. Introduction The Winooski River basin contains a diversity of fish species, many of which support popular recreational fisheries. Most streams within this watershed provide suitable habitat to support naturally reproducing, “wild” trout populations. Wild populations of native brook trout flourish in the colder, higher elevation streams. Lower reaches of some tributaries and much of the mainstem also support naturalized populations of wild rainbow and brown trout. Both species were introduced to Vermont in the late 1800s, rainbow trout from the West coast and brown trout from Europe. Most of the tributary streams of the Winooski River basin are managed as wild trout waters (i.e. are not stocked with hatchery-reared trout). The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department (VFWD) stocks hatchery-reared brook trout, brown trout or rainbow trout to supplement recreational fisheries in the Winooski River mainstem from Marshfield Village to Bolton Dam, as well as in the North Branch (Worcester to Montpelier) and Mad River (Warren to Moretown) where habitat conditions (e.g. temperature, flows) limit wild trout production. As mainstem conditions vary seasonally, wild trout may reside in these areas during certain times of the year. Naturally reproducing populations of trout have been observed in the upper mainstem of the Winooski as far downstream as Duxbury. Trout from mainstem reaches and larger tributaries may migrate into smaller tributary streams to spawn. -

Maine Atlantic Salmon Habitat Atlas

The habitat data which forms the core of the atlas was developed from field surveys conducted between 1994 and 2005 in the Aroostook, Dennys, Ducktrap, East Machias, Kennebec, Machias, Narraguagus, Passagassawakeag, Penobscot, Pleasant, Presumpscot, St. George, Sheepscot, Tunk and Union River watersheds by staff of the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These surveys were conducted to identify important Atlantic salmon spawning and rearing areas. The habitat data resulting from the surveys is meant to assist with a variety of research, management and planning activities including fry stocking, developing production estimates, habitat protection activities and data collection. While the atlas depicts spawning and rearing habitat and important point features, the digital data used to create these maps also includes information on habitat categories, composition, length, width and depth measurements, as well as canopy and other vegetation variables. Each river surveyed appears alphabetically within the atlas, and has an index map showing the arrangement of individual map pages. Map pages are numbered from upstream to downstream, starting on the mainstem, and then proceeding alphabetically by tributary. -
Lighthouses on the Coast of Maine Sixty-Seven Lighthouses Still Perch High on the Rocky Cliffs of Maine

Lighthouses on the Coast of Maine Sixty-seven lighthouses still perch high on the rocky cliffs of Maine. Some of these lighthouses were built more than two hundred years ago to help sailors navigate their way through storms, fog, and dark of night. These beacons saved wooden merchant vessels sailing dangerous courses through narrow and shallow channels filled with countless hazards. Maine’s lighthouses were a part of our country’s history at a time when we were defending our shores, as far back as the Revolutionary war. Some were damaged by war and many were destroyed by the violence of nature. Light keepers risked their own lives to keep their lamps burning. A proud and dramatic beauty can be seen in these structures and their rugged environments–the reason I recently returned to Maine for another photo exploration.

NEFMC EFH Desigations
NEFMC EFH Desigations developed as part of Omnibus Essential Fish Habitat Amendment 2 Amendment 14 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP Amendment 14 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP Amendment 4 to the Monkfish FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Herring FMP Amendment 2 to the Red Crab FMP Amendment 2 to the Skate FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Salmon FMP New England Fishery Management Council 50 Water Street, Mill 2 Newburyport, MA 01950 (978) 465-0492 tel. Essential Fish Habitat or EFH is define as those waters necessary for spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth to maturity. Regional Fishery Management Councils are required to desginate EFH per the 1996 reauthorization of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulatory guidance about EFH designations and EFH consultations was published in 2002 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (Federal Register, Vol. 67, No. 12, p 2343-2383). This guidance recommends description and identification of EFH by species and lifestage, based on the best available sources of information. Per the guidance, both text descriptions of essential habitats as well as spatial depictions of the extent of EFH should be developed. The New England Fishery Management Council developed its current EFH designations via Omnibus Habitat Amendment 2 (OHA2). OHA2 represented the first update to the NEFMC’s original EFH designations, developed in 1999 or shortly thereafter. Development of OHA2 began in 2004, and the final regulations were implemented on April 9, 2018. The EFH designations were the primary focus of the first phase of work on the amendment, from 2004- 2007, but adjustments to the desginations were made throughout the process, up until final Council action in April and June of 2016. -
Atlantic Salmon EFH the Proposed EFH Designation for Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic salmon EFH The proposed EFH designation for Atlantic salmon includes the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105, which exhibit the environmental conditions defined in the text descriptions. Smaller tributaries not shown on the map are also EFH for one or more life stage as long as they conform to the proposed habitat descriptions. All EFH river systems form a direct connection to the sea, but EFH would not include portions of rivers above naturally occurring barriers to upstream migration or land-locked lakes and ponds. The oceanic component of EFH is to a distance of three miles from the mouth of each river. The new designation includes six new drainage systems not included in the original list of 26 rivers that were designated in 1998. All of them are in the Maine coastal sub-region (Chandler, Indian, Pleasant, St. George, Medomak, and Pemaquid rivers). All told, 30 river systems in nine New England sub-regions are designated for Atlantic salmon EFH. The new map includes a more continuous series of bays and areas adjacent to river mouths that are within three miles of the coast. Designated EFH in Long Island Sound has been reduced to small areas where the Connecticut and Pawcatuck Rivers empty into the sound, rather than taking up the entire sound. Also, there are a number of improvements in the text descriptions which make the habitat requirements for each life stage more specific and applicable to three separate juvenile life stages (fry, parr, and smolts). Text descriptions: Essential fish habitat for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is designated as the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105. -

His understanding of ecological processes was unrivaled, and his contributions to this document were tremendous. Since his passing preceded the publication of this Status Review, he was not able to see the completion of this project. We would also like to acknowledge Jerry Marancik’s early contributions to this project. He was a BRT member until he retired in the spring of 2004. At that time, Scott Craig assumed Jerry Marancik’s role on the BRT. We would also like to acknowledge the many people who contributed to the completion of this document. Primarily, the work of previous Atlantic Salmon BRTs helped form the basis of this document. Previous BRT members include M. Colligan, J. Kocik, D. Kimball, J. Marancik, J. McKeon, P. Nickerson, and D. Beach. Many other individuals contributed helpful comments, ideas, and work products including D. Belden, E. Cushing, R. Dill, N. Dube, M. Hachey, C. Holbrook, D. Kusnierz, P.
