Penobscot River Environmental Restoration Project

The Penobscot River Environmental Restoration Project is a large effort to improve the health of the Penobscot River in Maine. It aims to restore natural river ecosystems by removing outdated dams, which have blocked fish migration and altered habitats. The project also enhances water quality, restores fish populations like Atlantic salmon and shad, and promotes sustainable recreation and economic development. Overall, it seeks to balance environmental health with community needs, ensuring the river remains a vital, vibrant ecosystem for future generations.
