Restoring Diadromous Fish Passage and Habitat to Shoreys

Brook, Maine

This project, located in South Berwick, ME will restore approximately 800 feet of habitat for diadromous fish species and enhance approximately 4.3 miles of habitat in Shoreys Brook.  A partially-breached dam will be removed, a failing perched culvert will be replaced with an open-arch culvert, and the streambed will be restored to its approximate original condition.  For more information on this project please click here or contact Darrell DeTour.

Scoy Pond and Staudinger’s Pond Alewife Access and Habitat Enhancement, New York

In Northwest Creek, a channel will be constructed and an overflow pipe will be replaced with a weir to allow fish passage into Staudinger's Pond.  In Alewife Brook, an undersized culvert will be replaced and stream debris will be removed to allow fish passage into Scoy Pond and to improve tidal flow.  Additionally in Alewife Brook, invasive Phragmites will be removed and the surrounding habitat will be enhanced. This project will ultimately restore access to approximately 18 acres of diadromous fish spawning and maturation habitat and enhance the ecologic function of nearly 1000 acres of estuarine habitat.  For more information on this project click here or contact: Julie Nace, NYSDEC/PEP
