  • 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.

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.

    Vol. 8 No. 9 A publication of the NB Media Co-op June 2017 nbmediacoop.org Return of the Wolastoq: NB Refugee Clinic Giving a river back its name supports refugees By TRACY GLYNN navigate the law By TRACY GLYNN No One Is Illegal Fredericton organized a Borderless Solidarities Workshop on May 6 in Fredericton. The NB Media Co-op interviewed one of the participants, Akram Ben Salah, the executive director of the NB Refugee Clinic, to find out what his organization is doing to support refugees settling in New Brunswick. NBMC: What does the NB Refugee Clinic (NBRC) do? How long has it been around? Akram Ben Salah: The NBRC offers free legal assistance and representation to persons making applications to stay as refugees or on other types of humanitarian or risk- based grounds, who cannot afford to hire a private lawyer. Our work includes preparing and submitting the claims, performing mock hearings and representation during the actual hearings as well as assistance with work permit applications for asylum seekers and permanent residence applications for all clients whose claims were successful and approved. The Clinic opened its doors in Moncton to the public on October 17, 2016. Since then, we have been receiving clients on a regular basis. Before the Clinic opened, there were no organizations in New Brunswick offering free legal assistance. Our clients cannot afford to hire a lawyer and because of that, without our services, they often had to go through the process without proper guidance or representation. NBMC: What specific refugee and/or immigration policies need to change in Canada?
