Salmon Tour Makes a Splash
-
The Downeast Lakes Land Trust in partnership with the Grand Lake Stream Fish Hatchery, was pleased to host a tour of the hatchery and a salmon milking demonstration. Community members and students from Indian Township donned hip boots and waded into the hatchery’s frigid waters to sort immature females, and assess gravid females for their readiness to lay eggs.

Sample Plan Set
-
This set of plans is meant to portray an example of final construction drawings only, and must be accompanied by sufficient additional documentation of site conditioins to satisfy the need for the Programmatic Notification Form. That
documentation would include elements such as stream profile, cross-section(s), substrate characterization, hydrology and hydaulics analysis.

Section 4(b)(2) Report Supporting Designating Critical Habitat
-
This report contains NMFS Northeast Region’s analysis pursuant to Section 4(b)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which supports the proposed designation of critical habitat for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment (GOM DPS) of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). In this analysis, we describe the benefits of designating any particular area as critical habitat based upon the biological value of the area to the GOM DPS. We also describe the economic, national security,
and other relevant impacts of designating any particular area as critical habitat. We then balance the benefits of designation against the impacts of designation and, as a result of this balancing, propose to exclude from the designation a number of particular areas for which we determined that the benefits of exclusion (i.e., the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts that would result if the area were designated) outweighed the benefits of designation. For these areas, we also determined that exclusion would not result in extinction of the GOM DPS.

Section 7 Consultation Package Including PBO
-
This letter transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) programmatic Endangered Species Act (ESA) section 7 consultation package, including a programmatic biological opinion (PBO), based on the Service’s review of your agencies’ proposal to permit, fund, or carry out specific activities associated with road-stream crossings in Maine. This programmatic consultation is a collaborative effort by our three agencies with the specific goal of contributing to the conservation and recovery of the endangered Atlantic salmon by addressing the threats to aquatic habitat connectivity and fish passage associated with many existing road-stream crossings in Maine.
