    Singing Waters Unplanned conservation on four northern Maine rivers Lloyd C. Irland 68 Appalachia Appalachia_SF2017_FINAL_4.25.17_REV.indd 68 5/4/17 10:33 AM Perhaps our grandsons, having never seen a wild river, will never miss the chance to set a canoe in singing waters. —Aldo Leopold In summer 1967, I was in high school in Illinois. I planned a trip on the Allagash River with my brother. We didn’t end up going. We didn’t have the time. So we hiked a piece of the Appalachian Trail. Today I ask myself how two Illinois teenagers, in 1967, even knew of the Allagash, an obscure river 1,200 miles away. Somehow the news in 1966, the year Maine created its Allagash Wilderness Waterway, had gotten to us. And it inspired me for a lifetime. I eventually moved to Maine. Over the years, I’ve canoed or fished parts of the Allagash and other Maine rivers. In my professional life as a forestry researcher, I have flown over and studied the entire region. Last year’s 50th anniversary of the waterway designation inspired this reflection on its impor- tance as a wild river and as a force for the value of wildness in our lives. As I consider the hold the Allagash maintains over me and others, I will compare it with three other rivers. The waterways I’ll talk about here are the Allagash, from its source in Churchill Lake, northwest of Baxter State Park, 100 miles to the Saint John River; the Saint John, from the Saint John Ponds (several shallow lakes) 150 miles to the town of Fort Kent; the West Branch of the Penobscot, above Ripogenus Dam; and the rugged East Branch of the Penobscot, which flows more than 75 miles north of Katahdin.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY -ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES. OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. NO .''5 (REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.5, published in 1978 as Fish. Environm.Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (804). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only. However, the Canadian Freshwater Features Section will be sent if specifically requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.5(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in numerical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used.

Since that time, however, as a result of various agreements, certain provinces have accepted in a greater or lesser degree the administration of the fisheries within their bound­ aries. Thus the Province of Quebec administers all its fisheries both freshwater and marine. The Provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 1 assume responsibility for the freshwater species while the Government of Canada handles such marine problems as occur. In British Columbia and Newfoundland the Government of Canada is completely responsible for the marine and anadromous (salmon, smelts, etc.) fish while the provinces take charge of the purely freshwater species. In Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory, the Government of Canada carries out its full responsibility in exerting not only legislative but administrative control. It should be stressed that everywhere in Canada, fisheries legislation is federal even though certain provinces may assume enforcement responsibility.
