Statewide Distribution of Diadromous Fish
Gulf of Maine Coastal Program played a lead role in this new and evolving initiative to develop a statewide map documenting the best available information on the current and historic range of all twelve diadromous fish in Maine. A first draft of this information is already available in a format viewable by partners with software and expertise in using ArcMap. Data still needs to be refined prior to being widely distributed. Contact Sandra Lary or Bob Houston on Gulf of Maine Coastal Program staff for guidance on appropriate use of the preliminary data for habitat protection and restoration work. Primary partners include Maine Dept. of Marine Resources and Maine Audubon Society. Information on the distribution of diadromous fish was generously provided by more than 40 individuals, including staff from federal and state agencies, NGO’s, and knowledgeable private citizens. Funding was provided by Maine Coast Protection Initiative.
