Dam Removals Contribute to Recovery of Alewife Population in Maine
Maine's alewife population has rebounded dramatically due to conservation efforts, particularly dam removals and fish channel constructions. The population increased from under 800 fish 35 years ago to around 9 million today, prompting local celebrations and the expansion of commercial harvesting rights in several municipalities. Despite this success, other states are still facing declines in their alewife populations.
