Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
MAINE RIVERS IS DIRECTING THE CHINA LAKE ALEWIFE RESTORATION INITIATIVE. OUR GOAL IS TO REMOVE DAMS AND INSTALL FISH PASSAGE AT 6 BARRIERS IN THE OUTLET STREAM BETWEEN CHINA LAKE AND THE SEBASTICOOK RIVER. THIS WILL ALLOW NATIVE MIGRATORY ALEWIVES, A KEYSTONE FISH SPECIES, TO MAKE THEIR WAY FROM THE OCEAN TO CHINA LAKE TO SPAWN. A RUN OF NEARLY ONE MILLION ADULT ALEWIVES IS ANTICIPATED. COORDINATION AND PLANNING WITH PARTNERS IS A CENTRAL PART OF THIS OVERALL PROJECT, WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER TWO TOWNS, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES, A LAND TRUST, LOCAL SCHOOLS AND NUMEROUS VOLUNTEERS. DURING THIS REPORTING YEAR WE COMPLETED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHINA LAKE OUTLET DAM FISHWAY, REMOVED THE MORNEAU DAM REMNANTS, REPLACED A COLLAPSING BRIDGE AND FIXED A SIGNIFICANT EROSION SITE. THIS WORK COMPLETED THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT, AND WILL ALLOW FREE AND SAFE PASSAGE FOR NATIVE MIGRATORY ALEWIVES TO CHINA LAKE FROM THE OCEAN, AND BACK.
MOUSAM RIVER: MAINE RIVERS PROVIDES ADVICE AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST WITH ANALYZING FISH PASSAGE OPTIONS AT THE THREE LOWEST MOUSAM RIVER DAMS, ALL OF WHICH CURRENTLY COMPLETELY BLOCK THE MOVEMENT OF FISH SPECIES THAT MUST MOVE FROM THE OCEAN TO FRESHWATER TO COMPLETE THEIR LIFE CYCLES.
MAINE RIVERS TAKES ON ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND FISH PASSAGE BY WORKING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, LAND TRUSTS, TRIBES, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. WE REVIEW PERMITS AND COORDINATE MEETINGS, AS WELL AS DRAFTING AND SUBMITTING LETTERS AND TECHNICAL REVIEW MATERIALS INCLUDING FORMAL SUBMISSIONS TO THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION. WE SHARE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION AS WELL AS RELEVANT NEWS ABOUT LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL RIVER MILESTONES VIA SOCIAL MEDIA, NEWSLETTERS AND EMAIL. ADVOCACY EFFORTS ARE AT LOCAL AND STATEWIDE LEVELS AND INCLUDE FOCUS ON THE KENNEBEC RIVER, SEBASTICOOK RIVER, PRESUMPSCOT RIVER, ROYAL RIVER, ST. CROIX RIVER AND COBBOSSEECONTEE STREAM, AND THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATERWAYS THROUGHOUT THE GULF OF MAINE.
