Maine Atlantic Salmon Trap Count Statistics
-
Maine Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of Sea-Run Fisheries and Habitat staff conduct routine monitoring of the abundance and status of adult Atlantic salmon and other fish species in many Maine rivers. MDMR Staff operates on the Penobscot River (Milford Dam), Androscoggin River (Brunswick Dam), and Narraguagus River (Cherryfield Dam). Brookfield Renewable Partners operates traps on the Kennebec River (Lockwood Dam), the Union River (Ellsworth Dam), The Penobscot River (Orono Dam) and at two hydroelectric projects on the Saco River (Skelton and Cataract Dams). The St. Croix Waterway Commission operates a trap at the Milltown Dam on the St. Croix River. Benton Falls Associates operates a trap on the Sebasticook River (Benton Falls Dam). Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp operates a trap on the Aroostook River (Tinker Dam). These fish counting facilities are typically operated from May through early November each year. Staff update the statewide trap catch summary weekly or more often during the peak of the fish migrations. The statewide trap catch table includes counts of sea-run salmon captured on Maine rivers and salmon removed from the river as broodstock for restocking of Maine rivers and DOES NOT include captures of aquaculture strays or captive reared adult salmon released from Federal hatcheries.

Increasing Resiliency of Tidal Marsh Habitats and Species
-
This project is designed to guide decisions about where to conduct tidal marsh restoration, conservation, and management to sustain coastal ecosystems and services, including the fish and wildlife that depend upon tidal marshes, taking into account rising sea levels and other stressors.

Increasing Resiliency of Tidal Marsh Habitats and Species
-
Increasing Resiliency of Beach Habitats and Species
-
This project is a coordinated effort by Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) partners to integrate existing data, models and tools with foundational data and assessments of both the impacts of Hurricane Sandy and the immediate response. The project will integrate new and existing data and build decision support tools to guide beach restoration, management and conservation actions. Project objectives are to sustain ecological function, habitat suitability for wildlife, and ecosystem services including flood abatement in the face of storm impacts and sea level rise.

West Branch Brook Culvert Assessment and Design - Final Report
-
Project SHARE conducted a preconstruction site assessment of the 30-00-0 road crossing of West Branch Brook. West Branch Brook is a head water tributary of the Narraguagus River. The Beddington Lake HUC 12 is the top priority focus area for Atlantic salmon restoration in the Narraguagus River. Funding for this project was provided by the Gulf of Maine Council with assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Maine Fishery Resources Office.

North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative
-
This project is developing a partner-driven, science-based approach for identifying and prioritizing culvert road stream crossings in the area impacted by Hurricane Sandy for increasing resilience to future floods while improving aquatic connectivity for fish passage. The resulting information and tools will be used to inform and improve decision making by towns, states and other key decision makers.
