Program seeks to restore salmon
EAST MACHIAS Bolstered by a recent federal grant, the Peter Gray Parr Project continues its work to restore the Atlantic salmon in Maine waters.
The species remains endangered in the United States and according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, “the last wild populations of U.S. Atlantic salmon are found in at least eight rivers in Maine.”
The Peter Gray Parr Project closely mimics the way juvenile salmon, known as parr, which are older and bigger than fry, are raised in the wild. It has been used by the Downeast Salmon Federation (DSF) to stock the East Machias River with parr for the last 10 years.
