Description
The Maine Department of Marine Resources Will Be Awarded Up to $14,826,500 Over Three Years to Design and Build a Fish Lift at Woodland Dam on the St. Croix River in Maine. The Project Will Provide Access to 600 Miles for All Migratory Fish Species and 60,000 Acres of Habitat for Alewife. This Is a Top Priority for the State of Maine, the Passamoquoddy People, and a Large Number of Other Stakeholders and Agencies in the Region Due to Its Potential to Significantly Improve Fish Populations in the Region. Project Timing Is Aligned with the Downstream Milltown Dam Removal Project to Ensure Immediate Project Benefits. The Project Will Directly Benefit Alewife, American Shad, American Eel, Blueback Herring, and Sea Lamprey by Providing Spawning and Rearing Habitat. Fish Population Benefits Expected from the Project Will Also Result in Increased Prey for Whales, Dolphins, Groundfish, and Saltwater Sportfish.
