Penobscot River Restoration Trust

The Penobscot River Restoration Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the health and natural flow of the Penobscot River in Maine. They work to improve fish migration, especially for species like Atlantic salmon and Atlantic sturgeon, by removing and modifying dams and enhancing habitat. The trust collaborates with government agencies, tribes, and communities to balance environmental restoration with sustainable hydroelectric power, ensuring ecological recovery while maintaining clean energy sources. Their efforts aim to benefit both aquatic ecosystems and local economies through healthier fish populations and recreation opportunities.
