Maintaining Alewife and Blueback Populations

Alewives and blueback herring are two ecologically and economically important species that can be found in Downeast Maine\u27s rivers. Alewives and blueback populations face many threats but commercial harvesters and other dedicated community members are working to restore and maintain healthy fish populations in Downeast Maine’s rivers. This video showcases some of their perspectives. This video was produced as part of an oral history project carried out by Maine Sea Grant and NOAA Fisheries in the spring of 2014 with financial support from NOAA’s Preserve America Initiative.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/seagrant_videos/1004/thumbnail.jp
