The Maine Fishery Resources Office provides assistance for habitat and fish passage projects to recover and restore anadromous fish in Maine. Both Green Lake and Craig Brook national fish hatcheries raise juvenile Atlantic salmon for Maine waters. Craig Brook has separate, river-specific facilities to maintain the unique genetic characteristics of salmon in each river.
