River Herring Harvesting in Maine

- Tens of millions of alewives are making their journey inland right now.
On rivers where dams have been taken out, we're seeing these fish come back in astonishing numbers and faster than anyone anticipated. That's good for the entire ecosystem. And it's good for local towns and lobstermen who benefit from the alewife harvesting for bait that is now possible on places like the Sebasticook River where the Fort Halifax Dam was removed.
We've got the chance to do this on the Kennebec where four dams are blocking sea-run fish, including alewives and endangered Atlantic salmon.
TAKE ACTION by urging the federal government to come up with a solution on the Kennebec that works for the fish, for the river, and for local communities. Comments to FERC are due today, find the link below to get your messages in!
