Casco Bay
Restoration
Category: Wetland
Cost: Information not provided.
Description: Casco Bay NEP is playing a key role in developing
a River Management Plan for the Presumpscot River. This document promises
to play a key role in building consensus for an approach to river restoration
that may involve the removal of multiple dams and installation of fish at
several sites and the development of protected lands and trails along the
river corridor.
Outcome: If dams are removed and fish passage installed, the
Presumpscot River may be able to support self-sufficient runs of diadromous
fish. If lands are protected and access provided, the Presumpscot River
may become a valuable recreational, biologic and economic asset for the Greater
Portland community.
