AUGUSTA — Twelve restoration projects to improve sea-run fish passages and habitats will share in $3.7 million from the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, a Legislature-approved investment of nearly $1
On Sept. 13, Maine announced $3.7 million in funding from the Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan to restore access to habitat for the state’s sea-run fish species. The investment is to also leverage tens of millions of dollars in additional federal.
River restoration projects along the Maine coast have allowed populations of migratory fish to rebound, and Sean Ledwin of the Maine Department of Marine Resources says fish runs are exploding this time of year.
