Shimmying Shad & Splashing Sturgeon, Nov 9

FRIENDS OF MERRYMEETING BAY

Over the past 50 years Maine rivers have recovered substantially from overfishing and industrialization. The Androscoggin River and Merrymeeting Bay are fast recovering the aquatic vegetation which supports the animal food web, including juvenile anadromous fish and other species. However, fish passage over dams remains a challenge.
