	Mitchell Center Funded Research - Nutrient cycling within the Meduxnekeag River and the use of periphytic algae
		A 20-mile segment of the Meduxnekeag River in Aroostook County, Maine, that traverses Houlton Band of Maliseet Indian (HBMI) tribal lands is experiencing substantial filamentous algal blooms in summer months.
		A Watershed Protection Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Main Branch of the Meduxnekeag River was published in 1993, a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Report was published by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2000, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is finalizing a sediment study it conducted this summer (2003).
		We propose to evaluate the underlying cause of the eutrophication by compiling and analyzing the existing data, investigating nutrient cycling in the river (including sediment and the water column), identifying nutrient loading areas and relative contributions of point and non-point sources, and determining temporal and spatial changes in the algae.

	The Meduxnekeag River
		The Meduxnekeag River, a tributary of the St. John River, rises in two principal branches in Aroostook County in the State of Maine (which contains about 3/4 of its total watershed) and ends in New Brunswick where it joins the St. John in downtown Woodstock.
		Significant sections of the Meduxnekeag are easy to canoe or kayak in high or medium water conditions (generally in May and June, and in September and October; also in July/August in wet summers).
		The Meduxnekeag is the only New Brunswick river with a resident population of brown trout.

	Meduxnekeag River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Meduxnekeag River (muh-DUHKS-nuh-keg) is a small river in western New Brunswick, Canada.
		In New Brunswick, the watershed of the Meduxnekeag is home to the richest, most diverse, and highest concentration of remnant sites of mature Appalachian Hardwood Forest in Atlantic Canada, containing many understorey plants rare or uncommon in the province.
		The non-profit Meduxnekeag River Association, based in Woodstock, has purchased, since 1998, approximately 1.20 square kilometres (290 acres) of forest, with more than 4 km (2.5 miles) of undeveloped shoreline.

		Resident and nonresident anglers frequent the river during April to September, depending on river conditions (flow and temperature), and experience trout fishing in a relatively remote setting near the population center of Houlton.
		The lower mainstem River is surrounded by agricultural lands whereas the drainage upstream from Houlton is mostly forested.
		The conservative fishery regulations on the Meduxnekeag River should be maintained and fully evaluated with an additional 3 years of creel survey.

		When the Loyalist refugee settlers arrived in the 1780s, they also found the land where the Meduxnekeag joined the “great river” by then known as the St. John a good place to live, and the town of Woodstock developed here in the 19th Century.
		The St. John River underwent a huge transformation in the late 1960s when the Mactaquac Dam was constructed 80 kilometres downstream.
		The Meduxnekeag Valley is the central part of a rich forest ecology not found elsewhere in Atlantic Canada.

	Maine Rivers Issues
		Maine Rivers will be collaborating with our colleagues in the environmental community to present a series of public education programs about this issue during the fall and winter; check our website, www.mainerivers.org, for future announcements.
		The River literally turns another color - brown, from large influxes of farm soil – after snowmelt and storms, which is evidence of the agricultural community losing their most valuable resource.
		The result was the Meduxnekeag River Watershed Management Plan/Environmental Assessment.” HBMI had purchased trust land within the most affected 6 mile stretch of the Meduxnekeag in 1986, and knew they needed to be part of a watershed-wide effort if they were to help improve conditions in the River.

	Graduate Research at the Mitchell Center - Elizabeth (Lisa) Fretwell research
		A 20-mile segment of the Meduxnekeag River in Aroostook County, Maine that flows through Houlton Band of Maliseet Indian (HBMI) tribal lands is experiencing substantial filamentous algal blooms in summer months.
		The 289 square-mile Meduxnekeag River watershed is not only the most intensively farmed watershed in southern Aroostook County, but also flows through downtown Houlton and receives both point source and non-point source inputs before reaching tribal lands.
		Additionally, the percent coverage of algal growth in the river will be mapped and algae will be analyzed for nutrient limitation and isotopic fingerprints of nutrient sources.

	GOM Times - Feature 4a
		But given Wayne Annis' devotion to preserving and restoring river ecology, it seems only natural that his family would share their home with a tankful of 1,500 silvery young salmon each year, releasing them into the nearby Keswick River when they are mature enough.
		"Left to nature, the rivers will pretty much maintain their natural flows and patterns, but with human impacts and siltation and erosion, they'll fill in so you have a stream that, over time, gets wider and wider and shallower," and is no longer hospitable to fish, says Annis.
		Bringing students out of the classroom and onto the rivers themselves has been much more effective than using textbooks to teach youngsters about the roles rivers play in the natural and cultural environment, and about their connection with the sea by way of anadromous fish, like salmon, he explains.

	Nutrients, Organic Compounds, and Mercury in the Meduxnekeag River Watershed, Maine, 2003
		In 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, sampled streambed sediments and surface water of the Meduxnekeag River watershed in northeastern Maine under various hydrologic conditions for nutrients, hydrophobic organic compounds, and mercury.
		These data indicate that the part of the watershed that includes Houlton, its wastewater-treatment plant, and four small urban brooks may have contributed high concentrations of nitrate to Meduxnekeag River during the high flows on April 23-24 and high concentrations of both organic and nitrate nitrogen on June 2-3.
		Data were insufficient to establish whether the lack of large algal blooms in 2003 was related to low concentrations of phosphorus.
