		Officials noted that cleanup crews were able to recover 78 percent of the spilled oil, which helped control the extent of damage to fish, shellfish, bird, and mammal habitats.

	Maine Water Conference 2005 Estuaries:Where Rivers Meet the Sea
		To better understand the emigration ecology of Atlantic salmon smolts in eastern Maine rivers, we tracked salmon smolts in the Narraguagus River using ultrasonic tags and a large array of fixed receivers that monitored fish movements from river kilometer 7.65 seaward into the Gulf of Maine.
		In spring 2003, a series of instruments was placed in the Narraguagus River and surrounding regions to collect data on current patterns, water levels, temperature, and salinity to calibrate and verify the numerical model.
		The modeling efforts have proved useful in developing critical insights on the processes affecting Atlantic salmon emigration dynamics in eastern Maine and in identifying mortality factors constraining the recovery of the populations.
