Atlantic salmon are on the brink of dying out in the Kennebec River because of Brookfield Renewables’ four dams between Waterville and Skowhegan. The Natural Resources Council of Maine is working as part of the Kennebec Coalition to restore a healthy, free-flowing Kennebec River for Atlantic salmon by removing all four dams.
Maine’s Department of Marine Resources (DMR) has released a new Kennebec River Management Plan Amendment, which recognizes the need for removal of at least two of the four dams. DMR’s proposed amendment is important because it recognizes the need for dam removal to continue restoration in the Kennebec River.
