	Maine Rivers News
		Maine Rivers joined dozens of groups in filing an amicus brief with the court, supporting our colleagues at Friends of the Presumpscot River and American Rivers in their fight to keep alive a state’s ability to regulate the operation of hydropower dams on its waters.
		As is the history of most industrial rivers in the northeast, these runs were extirpated by uncontrolled pollution and the building of dams that lacked fish passage.
		Dams alter the chemical, physical and biological integrity of rivers by changing the flow, increasing water temperature, changing the distribution of sediment, reducing oxygenation and blocking the migration of fish and other aquatic species to their spawning or feeding habitat.

	Effort to save Maine salmon is losing ground - The Boston Globe
		Maine's rivers once teemed with the leaping silvery sport fish that became so popular one was ceremoniously delivered to the US president each year.
		He wants to place Penobscot River salmon, which are not endangered, into the Dennys River, one of the rivers where salmon are endangered, to better understand why Penobscot salmon return from the ocean in greater numbers.
		Maine officials argued against the endangered listing, saying the salmon in the eight rivers had undergone so much stocking they were no more Maine's own than any other exotic fish raised in a tank.

		In recognition of the importance of the shorelands of Maine's lakes, rivers, wetlands and the ocean to the state's environment and economy, a Shoreland Zoning Act was first enacted in 1971.
		Answer: While it is permissible to pull water from a lake or river, the problems are potability and freezing of waterlines, so this is typically a seasonal source for uses other than drinking.

	Maine Fishing Articles
		Hot summer weather doesn't affect river fishing as much as it does in late in the day, there are always shaded areas and current breaks that will allow you to catch fish at high noon on a day when the temperatures are in the 80s.
		When fishing rivers, look for the smallies to be hanging around rocks, ledges, the base of a dam, trees that have fallen into the water, or any other object that breaks the flow pattern of the river.
		River fishing is also different than lake or pond fishing, as you are dealing with greatly-varying water depths, temperature changes and inlets that range from tiny brooks to major rivers.
